2000 Calorie Diet-What could it look like?

Most nutritional values on food labels are based on a 2,000 calorie per day plan. Many people feel that on this limitation, or if they are on a few less calories, that this isnt possible, that it could not be enough food. Fitness One Training Systems trainer Allen Branch shows you just how much food you CAN consume on a 2000 calorie diet. Keep in mind we realize that caloric intakes differ between individuals and that this is just an illustration.

Thank you so much for the great comments everyone! I am working up a 1200 Cal version with some different foods. thanks again!

[wallis222]

Breakfast this morning was a PB&J sandwich on 7 grain bread. Lunch was pasta salad (w/ a vinaigrette dressing), and 3oz of dried ham. Afternoon snack was 2 fiber bars. Here is where it gets bad... Dinner tonight was two 1/4lb cheesburgers (home made). As well as, 6 perogies. My desert was an 80g bag of Ju-Jubes, and a frozen yogurt popsicle. So much for my 2000 cal diet.

@wallis222 wow! you were doing fine until the cheeseburgers hit! :) They are my weakness too....Each day is a new day, just score yourself, with A being perfect and dropping a letter grade every time you eat bad...Try to stay on the honor roll1 If you mess us once, its not the end of the world, and tomorrow is another day!

Great foods, to be sure but how do you make them "stick to your ribs"? Whenever I eat a meal with with stuff like baby spinach, lite yogurt, baked salmon etc, the belly is growling within two hours or less.

TOO MUCH SHIT TO KEEP TRACK OF, EAT WHATS IN THE FRIDGE.

Hey, he's right! That's why I'm thin! I never ever eat fast food, I eat the type of food he had on the table but about 2200 calories a day and my BMI is 17.5, I'm 115 and 5'8. It's not how much you eat, it's what you eat.

@wallis222 and about 10 cups of water throughout the day. Good thing i've got the metabolism of a race horse, and work 12 hours a day on my feet.

2000 calories is already *a lot* for what I eat generally. On a normal day I only consum about 1400 calories which isn't enough for my bmr which requires around 1500 just to sustain my body, and 2000 to actually get me to bulk up.

@BJJANDKARATE I guess that makes sense. ;)
