I love to give advice, but you might be a 70 pound anorexic, and I might say
the wrong thing.

Have you read Atkins' book?

If you are just worrying about calories, you can eat tomatoes, green
beans, kraut, mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, celery,
lettuce, chicken noodle soup, chicken rice soup etc..

You want to be on a diet, and be satisfied? Good one!

And I want a magic wallet from which I can keep taking money without
ever putting any in.

What you can eat to achieve those calories depends on how many carbs
you allow yourself each day. What is your carb goal?

It's not the calories. It's what's in em.
1200 calories = 300 g of carbs (bad idea), 300 g of protein
(probably over doing it), and 133g of fat (probably not
the best solution, either).

The trick is to find the point at which, along the continuum of
0 to 300g of carbs, will produce satisfaction. It's probably
going to be <60. @60g of carbs, that's 240 calories, leaving
you abundant options for your fats and proteins.

But, deep down, we know that limiting calories to 1200 is a self
defeating game. You'll get some progress, then will have to
reduce to 1100 to get more progress. And you will never be able
to maintain and eat normally again.

Find a better approach. I'm going to recommend the
Protein Power Life Plan by Mike and Mary Dan Eades.

Calories are irrelevant, so I'll just advise you to use capitalization,
apostrophes, and correct spacing. Your writing will be easier to read
and look less like trolling or spam, so you'll be more likely to get
serious answers.

Most low carb methods don't limit calories until near the end
of the loss phase. Yet this is your first post on the topic.
That's a red flag that suggest you haven't read any of the
books on the topic.

> and im not getting satisfied with what im eating.

Another violation of low carb principles. You are supposed to
eat until satisfied. If you continue to be unsatisfied after a
meal even at the end of the loss phases then you're not on
an established plan.

That few calories per day suggests your target weight is 120
pounds. Without any mention at all of your height and current
weight that sounds too much like a wild overreaction.

There's far too high a chance you have an eating disorder and
any advice given here would be taken wrong.

I have found these great drinks that I ordered online. They are
protein drinks that help keep you feeling full. They are a great meal
replacement drink. They come in strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. I
love them! Have one for breakfast everyday! Let me know if you are
interested in something like that!

That's exactly why you're still obese.

I struggled with the same problem when I was calorie counting. If you
have done any diet research then you should know that a 1200 calorie
diet is not the healthiest way to start losing weight if that is what
you are wanting to do. It basically puts your body into survival mode
slowing down your metabolism because your body will not "know" when it
will get more nutrients. It will make your body "stockpile" everything
you comsume to compensate for lack of "raw materials". Check out this
website for educating yourself on responsible meal planning. It is
actually a course that will teach you how to eat nutritionally to
support your fitness goals and give you some workout advice as well.
As always you should consult your doctor BEFORE starting any kind of
fitness plan or weight loss program. Your doctor can give you advice
on the proper calorie count for your body type and lifestyle
practices.

help you decide.

Yep, that's what I was wondering too. Sure looked like a troll to
me. The post didn't even say a word about LC, just a 1200 calorie
