If Jerry Seinfeld were more involved with health and fitness he’d ask, “What’s up with the 1200-Calorie Diet? (Thank you Dad.)”

But seriously: Upon looking at popular weight loss diets’ caloric recommendations for women, 1200 Calories often constitutes the ideal target. (For men it can vary up to 1500.)

The 1200-Calorie diet is an extremely popular trend on Reddit, TikTok and Instagram; Kim Kardashian herself reportedly followed this prescriptive regiment.

Nothing special exists regarding 1200 Calories per day specifically.

But all the hype can leave anyone–whether an individual or coach–pondering low-calorie diets in general.
