How to Eat 1100 Calories a Day

Restricting your calorie intake is imperative in a successful weigh-loss plan. Women who are not vigorously exercising can maintain a healthy calorie intake by eating just 1,100 calories per day. This may not seem like a lot of calories. However, you can easily enjoy three meals and two snacks on an 1,000-calorie plan. Limit each meal to 300 calories and each snack to 100 calories. You will need to cut out all calorie-laden drinks on this diet plan, so make sure to drink plenty of water.
