Is 1,200 calories considered a diet?

Doesn’t count. After understanding the relevant knowledge, you can know that 1200-1300 kcal is equivalent to the basal metabolism of ordinary girls (mine is 1349 kcal). If your intake is less than your basal metabolism, it can be called a diet or calorie deficit.

Calorie calculation method:

Everyone has a different basal metabolic rate due to factors such as gender, age, height and weight. For example, I am 1.7 meters and 120 pounds, and my basal metabolic rate is more than 1350 ( This specific algorithm can be calculated by Baidu or downloading the Mint app). If I eat less than 1350 per day, it is considered a diet. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months due to dieting and exercise, but later due to excessive dieting and emotional factors, I even returned to overeating without missing a pound. So if you have a strong appetite and have been slightly obese since childhood, you should

never overdiet.
