If you’re thin what do you eat daily (and approximate calories)

Lunch - a bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, avocado and sliced tomato, with water on the side. I swear since I started eating this a year ago, my usual state of "borderline UTI" has stopped.

I sometimes have a snack in the afternoon - like a chocolate from valentines day or whatever.

At 7pm, DH and i have a cocktail every day. Plus half the time I have a little small bowl of bar snacks - like smoked almonds or a handful of cheese sticks. Dinner ranges from terribly unhealthy (like a giant bowl of cheesy pasta) to decently healthy, but always vegetarian. Dinner is almost always homemade with fresh ingredients, but we eat too much at dinner - it's our weakness. I have dessert a few nights a week - like a full on big cake slice or similar.

I run every day for 30 mins (weekdays) to an hour (weekends).

I aspire to this menu and lifestyle. Not really working for me right now with a 4yo and a 15mo but I'm gonna get there.

Did you think the thin women you know were just going with the flow? No.

I would be starving and hangry with this menu.

Yeah, then it's not for you. But it worked for me on Tuesday (I think it was tuesday?) so that's what I had. It's enough for me to work full time, work out for an hour and a half (not continuously), be a mom and a wife and dog-owner, and be happy. Maybe twice a week I'll feel my belly rumbling and will have some carrot sticks or almonds or an apple. But in general, I don't snack and am satisfied.

Why? Most women who replied have a normal BMI and are petite or medium height.
How many of them would be advised by a professional to gain weight?

Not all..but there are a handful of sample diets do seem to be very minimal calories and intentionally restrictive.

I know this might be hard to believe but once formed good habits become unintentional.
Most overweight people use their own logic to point out some sort of calculation "intentionally starving" when in reality most thin people don't think much about food, let alone obsess with calories.

That's why the legendary chocolate covered strawberry is someone's satisfying sweet treat and to others a sign of disgusting disordered eating. It's a huge contrast of what amount of food / sugar can make one satisfied.

I’m obese and I think you’re completely right. So many of us are totally out of touch with what an appropriate amount of food is.

Breakfast: full fat yogurt or Ezekiel cereal/milk with blueberries and sliced almonds, coffee with splash of milk

Snack: 1/2 butter croissant

Lunch: salmon with quinoa salad and spinach

Snack: 1/2 butter croissant with coffee/milk, or tortilla chips with hummus, or cheese and apple

Dinner: roast chicken, macaroni salad, HB egg, strawberries

I’m actually trying to gain a couple of pounds which is why I added the full fat dairy and snacks. Sometimes spouse brings me a taco home after dinner or a bag of nuts.

She didn't eat a WHOLE chocolate covered strawberry; she had a PIECE of a chocolate covered strawberry. A PIECE of a strawberry with some chocolate on it!!!!! Even large strawberries are small. She had a PIECE of some small thing. That's a sign of someone with a problem.

Forgot to add I’m under 100lbs but only 5’1”. No idea of calories. I’m trying to eat for nutrients, weight gain, and to alleviate ongoing constipation. For exercise I just walk for 10-20min after a couple of meals a day. So maybe 30-40min of walking 2.5mph? I’d usually do weights or yoga but have an injured hand. And I know the above is not an ideal menu- just happens to be what I ate yesterday.

Anyone who is overweight or obese has a HUGE problem with significant negative health implications. Taking a bite from sweets and then stopping? Nope.

I'm thin and totally agree (I used to be fat). When I was overweight, I was always obsessing about food and calories and carbs. Now I never even think about it and give myself permission to eat whatever I want and usually I just don't want that much.

PP, good luck on losing weight. It is tough but you can do it.

Pretty sure she’s trying to say she eats a piece from the bag of frozen chocolate covered strawberries at TJs, not a piece of ONE.

Yeah, then it's not for you. But it worked for me on Tuesday (I think it was tuesday?) so that's what I had. It's enough for me to work full time, work out for an hour and a half (not continuously), be a mom and a wife and dog-owner, and be happy. Maybe twice a week I'll feel my belly rumbling and will have some carrot sticks or almonds or an apple. But in general, I don't snack and am satisfied.

That looks like about 1000 calories. Just saying…

There’s no reason to count calories. Cut carbs to lose weight.

You have absolutely no idea because she didn’t post portion sizes. This is wild speculation.
