Easy 1000-Calorie Diet & Workout Plans
Diets are hard. If it were easy to stick to a diet, 63.1 percent of Americans wouldn't be overweight or obese. Fad diets may be marketed as "miracle diets"; however, they promote yo-yo dieting and even weight gain. Follow an easy 1,000-calorie plan for sustained weight loss.

Caloric Intake
-
Write down the food you eat in a diary to keep track of what and how much you are eating. Divide the 1,000 calories by three for each meal to equal approximately 333 calories. If you wish to snack during the day, subtract 33 calories from each meal to equal 300 calories for breakfast, lunch and dinner and two 50-calorie snacks between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner. This gives clear direction on spacing out calories during the day.
