I'd probably try upping your calories, rather than restricting them further as you're already on the low side. No point restricting unnecessarily. Give it a go for a few days. What does MFS say you should be having calorie-wise? Personally, I'm trying not to get too hung up on calories, but it's hard changing the habits of a lifetime! You could also try eating smaller meals more frequently - keeps your metabolism going. Just a few thoughts, but I maybe not the best person to take advice from right now!In which case, I would suggest you adopt one of two approaches. Eat more or eat less.
If your calorie recording is accurate (by that I mean, if your serving sizes are accurate) I would guess your body is in a rut. So, I would either have a few days or a week of either very low calorie, or add maybe 400 calories - just to make your body behave differently. Sort of wake it up.
After a short while, revert to 1000-1200 calories and see what happens.
(I'm not suggesting you're fibbing about serving size, but I know I can sometimes dollop a serving, then just add another spoonful or whatever, if I'm either hungry or I just fancy it.)
