If you have a BMI of 18-20 (or lower) come in

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'11" with a very small frame. In my 20s I weighed about 120 to 125. In my 30s was about 130. I only went to 155 with both of my pregnancies, both were in my 20s. I was always able to eat whatever I wanted. Now at 59 things are different. I weigh more than I did when pregnant and need to lose about 10 lbs. Can't eat whatever I want anymore, those were the days.

If you know your BMI down to the percentage point you have issues.

Breakfast: coffee with 1 T cream

Lunch: smoothie made with kale, coconut/almond milk, frozen fruits, banana, 2 T hemp seeds. Either leftovers, almonds, or whatever else I have. Today I had a slice of homemade focaccia with olives, almonds, and rosemary.

Dinner: Burmese Coconut-Chicken Noodle soup. Yesterday I had Costco rotisserie chicken with asparagus and rice.

Dessert: sometimes ice cream, cookie, or brownie. Usually a matcha latte.

5’6.75?

You negated any sense of sounding normal when you wrote that.

All you need to do is look it up ...

20.1 so I just missed the cutoff. But I enjoyed a cookie and a latte yesterday so IDGAF.

20.94 fatty here. Yeah, I ate 3 Girl Scout cookies yesterday and I have a latte every morning, so that’s probably why I’m so lard-filled.

Breakfast: one egg, one English muffin, 2 cups of coffee, piece of fruit (generally an apple but in the summer I prefer peaches and nectarines)

Lunch: Big salad with lots of veggies, light dressing, a few croutons (no bacon or cheese).

Snack: Bowl of fruit salad (pineapple, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, and blueberries)

Tonight we're having shrimp scampi and a side of steamed broccoli. I'll eat the shrimp and broccoli without the pasta.

Sometimes if I'm still hungry and everyone else is having dessert I'll have a yogurt so my kids don't see me not partaking. I think that sends the wrong message, especially to girls.

This is pretty disordered eating.

DP. The serving size for Thin Mints is 4 cookies. I eat 4 of them at a time, not 3.

Yeah. You think having a yogurt as a dessert sends your kid any other message other than “I don’t eat dessert; I eat yogurt.” No one thinks yogurt is a dessert.

And what’s wrong with pasta?

Honestly, your rules sound like the ones I had for myself in college, when I was anorexic.

I’m always fascinated by these threads and the obsession with daily totals. I’ve lost weight four times in my life: after college and after each of three kids, each time losing 10+ lbs. And each time I started out counting calories, and it drove me crazy, made me obsessed, and almost certainly ultimately increased how much I ate. All four times as soon as I stopped counting calories and started just exercising for fun and eating unprocessed foods according to my appetite, the weight fell off.

Yesterday I ate: 3 eggs, oatmeal with blueberries walnuts sugar, whole milk latte + whey protein shake and nectarine + sweet green salad with chicken avocado egg pesto tortilla chips, bar of chocolate + brown rice and beef kabob and spinach for snack + jambalaya with chicken and sausage + a serving of talenti gelato. Easily over 2000 calories. And that’s what I eat to maintain my weight. I peloton 4 times a week and lift weights 2-3 times a week.

I honestly think severe caloric restriction and calorie counting only works if you’re solidly overweight, it does not help you lose the final few pounds! Women are screwing up their metabolisms by doing this. It’s so unhealthy AND not effective in the long run.

If you really think the average person could eat like that and weigh under 120 at your height you're crazy. I exercise more, eat less, and am bigger than you and not even by that much and I realize most people have it harder.

Right. As a former fat (was an obese teen) I can’t eat anywhere near 2k calories no matter how much I exercise. Blows my mind that someone with a great metabolism eating tons every day thinks the rest of us are just torturing ourselves for fun.

NP.

It's BS.

The poster is xagerrating. You will never meet such a person in real life. Only on the internet.

Thin people each much less. Its annoying when people come here and pretend to eat so much food.

P.

DP.

Why is this sad?

I know many people who eat 1 large meal a day and then pick on a little here and there. They are healthy. We have to get away from this mentality that everyone has to eat 2 or 3 square meals a day.

PP is a little bit underweight, but it is not hard to see how her weight could be just fine if you adjust for a small body frame.

Yes, this is the diet of a bulimic. Notice almost everything is liquid?
