This is PO. I’m thin. You are practically anorexic. Do you have ANY muscle mass? |
I wish DCUM would define “skinny” and “thin” for us so we know. I’m 5’ 5” 127 and very fit, but I don’t think I’m what they’re looking for. |
5'5 and 115 lbs is not anywhere near "practically anorexic" and I don't think anyone would even find me notably thin. I have tons of muscle mass, I lift heavy 3+ days a week and am very strong for a smaller woman. |

I am 6'1", weigh between 165 and 170 and am a cardio junkie. I burn from 550-1200 calories a day exercising which makes it very hard to consume enough protein and good calories as I need. I snack CONSTANTLY and eat throughout the day. Yesterday I ate:

Anorexic isn’t fair to say, but it is practically underweight, clinically. Not quite underweight, but very close |
This is pathologically specific for someone who doesn’t have a weight problem.. |
As someone who struggles to keep on weight, I think it’s fine. NP |

This thread has been interesting. I am a fat woman with a reasonably balanced diet annoyed by the fact that I don’t even eat half of what I would like to eat and still am overweight. I am amazed at the small portions and healthful choices of thin women. How do you even fall asleep with so few calories? |
Honestly, it took me a long time to get past my mind’s natural tendency to convince me that if I didn’t eat right up until bed, I’d never eat again. I stop eating at 8 and sometimes still have to tell myself “I can just eat again tomorrow. Food’s not going anywhere” Now I go to bed slightly hungry, but by the time I wake up the hunger’s gone. |
Not at all. I log food now that I am in my training blocks for triathlon and can spit out the same information. It doesn’t even take that much time to record but it’s important to make sure you are fueling properly. Under-eating and overeating are both easy to do with a ton of cardio. One hour in during a bike session i usually have some nutrition available. |
I don't go to bed hungry but I do try to stop eating two hours before bed. I have a small breakfast and a vegetable-based lunch, and then I eat most of my calories (including plenty of carbs) around 6:30-7:30pm. I'm 5'6, 118 and I've fluctuated between 114 and 122 pretty much my whole adult life. |
Ok weirdo. No one cares what brand of deli meat and the exact ounce/grams of food you consume. Plus you aren’t even the demographic OP is asking about. Carry on with your 196g of zucchini |
I find it is much easier to fall asleep when dieting because my body needs calories and I literally do not enough energy to stay awake. |
This must be some advanced level I’ve never attained, having tossed and turned, given up, gone downstairs and carbed myself to sleep. |
So basically what you’re saying is, you have an eating disorder? |
