well considering that 1 g protein has 4 cal, 1 g of carbs 4 cal and 1 g of fat has 9 cal.
It is simply bigger protions of the right foods.
If you want to stay with 1200 cal....and a 40/40/20
you will need 480 cal from protein 120 grams
480 cal from carbs
240 cal from fats = 26 g
devide those in 6 equal protions of 200 cal each would be the perfect scenario to keep your energy up and avoid drop in sugar balance in your body, (although I really think you should up those calories when you combine it with workouts. But see what happens, if you lose more than a pd/week certainly up them. If you are losing a pd. then stick with it for a while. Then try and up them a bit later.)
Those 200 cal would look the same in ratios 40/40/20
80 cal from protein
80 from carbs
40 from fat
While using a program like fitday at fitday.com you can log your food and see your ratios. concentrate on your protein most of all making sure you get that much in as it is going to support you muscle. Next the carbs and last the fats.
I am not sure where you have the most problem in getting the cal./ratio together you just have to take what you like eating right now log in a sample menu and increase your protions to match each meal.
Hope this helps a bit. Maybe show what you are taking now so we can make some suggestions.
