Working out for me is about health not to lose weight.

curious why you’re on this forum then.

Same. I struggle to keep weight on. I have no major interest in food and the adhd meds do not help.

This forum is also about diet and nutrition. Some of us are looking to build muscle, some are looking to lower cholesterol, some are just trying to improve their energy or iron levels. Shedding body fat isn't the only thing that matters to many of us.

The person said she would rather not eat than work out to lose weight and that other than that, she knows she needs food to live and that she could care less if she eats during the day.

That doesn’t seem like someone looking for advice from others on diet and nutrition.

DP that makes no sense

Just because someone isn't over nourished doesn't mean they are getting everything they need.

It makes sense bc the person seems very certain and rigid in her views.

I hate exercise, and would never do it a minute in my life it it wasnt necessary for health. Lift weights 2xs a week, run 2xs a week, and walk the other 3 days. Want to maintain bone health, strength and balance, am 61

My weight does not go down with exercise; however it allows me to eat a bit more (I'm short, and maintain on 13-1400 cal). I exercise because its the number one most important thing to do to increase healthspan and longevity.

And, having seen so many frail elderly people, I am increasingly focused on building muscle and strength now, even though that means eating more and probably putting on a litle weight.

+1 being skinny doesn't make you automatically healthier. Lacking muscle mass is really bad for aging.
