Dinner - 4oz chicken or fish and veggies

This is called anorexia

Hahaha I wish. I’m 174 pounds! That’s called a 52 year old perimenopausal woman with low iron, borderline cholesterol, and skirting the low end of overweight.

That’s 1,500 - 1,800 calories.

And a sad sad way to live. Do you exercise at all? I’m also a 52 year old in menopause and eat way more than that but I workout 5-6 days a week. Intense workouts most days not just walking. Normal weight. Id rather be fat then eat this way.

NP. What are your height and weight?

How do you make eggs quickly in the morning?

Egg white bites from Costco in the air fryer for 8 mins while I get ready

Hard boiled and stored in the fridge for the whole week

Crack 2 eggs (or egg whites ) and scramble on the stovetop, takes like 5 mins.

Another way is to melt a 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a skillet, crack 2 eggs into it, season, and put a lid on it. They cook in 2-3 minutes with steam from the lid.

I do we and my diet is about 1200 a day

Breakfast : 2 eggs, 1 piece of sourdough bread, fruit
Lunch: Salad with protein (tuna, sardines, chicken, turkey)
snack: cottage cheese with fruit/tomatoes
Dinner: Fish/Chicken and roasted veggies... sometime 1/2 potato or 1 cup of rice.

This is similar to what I eat. It's completely satisfying for me as a 46 year old woman. It wouldn't have been enough earlier in my life. I'm a healthy weight - if anything could stand to lose a couple pounds (5'6" and 150 lbs)

I’m glad you find it completely satisfying. I am very similar in size to you, a little taller and older, but I’m hungry when I eat like this. At this stage of life i have to eat like this to lose a few pounds and very close to this when I’m maintaining. But as a former athlete who used to have a high metabolism, this does not make me feel full or completely satisfied. I just eat this way because otherwise I would gain weight.

And she would rather eat this way than be fat. Why do you care?

She’s eating this way and IS FAT. Yes, that’s a sad life.

I think you're my twin. I pretty much eat the same as you. I;m 46 and 4.11 and simply do not need any more food than this.

I’m 45 and hungry ALL the time. Even plenty of protein and produce. And I don’t even work out as much as I should. I wish I just wasn’t as hungry.

All you people accusing other posters of eating disorders are absurd. America has an obesity problem and it's largely because of the view that we need thousands upon thousands of calories when we simply don't. A 1200 or 1300 calorie diet is not anorexia. Get a damn grip.

It might not be anorexia but it is a sad way to live.

Maybe for you. But others might put a higher value on looking and feeling thin and less of a value on food (especially excess calories that give 30 seconds of satisfaction).

How much oil are you adding to your food? Are you gulping half n half?


There's no way you're eating 1800 from your diet plan (see below)

Coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 - 1 tub of half n half is 15 calories, so 20 calories here
11:00 1/3 cup cream of wheat (no milk, just boiled water to make it) or low fat plain Greek yogurt with homemade unsweetened granola and a teaspoon of honey - 150 calories
Afternoon snack - fruit, nuts, 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheeses, boiled egg white, or baby carrots - one banana is 120 calories
Dinner - 4oz chicken or fish and veggies - 200 calories

Total of 500 calories a day. nice try anorexia

What a weird hang up? Several people have posted essentially the same diet plans as me. You’ve got zero clue about calorie counts and anorexia.

I use Noom and can tell you exactly what my calorie count was of almost every day for 7 months (see cholesterol comment above). Every single day (minus holidays, vacation and cheat days) I’ve been bt 1500 and 1800 calories.

But I guess you know an anorexic when you see one.

You're really going to disagree with me that an average banana is 120 calories? Okay ostrich.

What does someone else's obesity problem have anything to do with your diet? This is what happens when you don't eat enough calories - you make illogical arguments like this.

1200 to 1300 calories is undereating. If you're doing it temporarily to lose weight, it means you know it's less than what your body needs to maintain itself. I bet you constantly think about food, look up calories before you eat something, and and get nervous during dinners with friends.

I try to add a workout or two hours of walking (I try to take as many work calls as I can walking) most days, and then I can have a treat -- usually ice cream or homemade waffles or something along those lines (not pure sugar).

On days I'm very hungry in the morning, I add nuts (walnuts or almonds, usually) and flax to my oatmeal.

Okay this does sound like an eating disorder. Not your diet in and of itself but with two hours of walking yes. I say this as someone that walks 5-8 miles a day for exercise. Two hours is a six mile walk. For me that means I burn 2400 calories during the day.
