[quote=Anonymous][quote] General meal plan: 
Coffee with milk and sugar 
Green smoothie with protein powder and chia 
Some sort of whole grain + protein (oatmeal and almond butter; toast with an egg; avocado toast) 
Some sort of salad or soup with protein 
Dinner varies widely, pasta with greens or lean protein plus grain and veg sides or grain bowl

I eat mostly vegetarian and only drink a couple times a week.[/quote]

Np here. Quantity matters of course but seems adequate well rounded to me but then again  diet is individual . I definitely undereat according to macros (I struggle to get anywhere near enough protein) and dismissed it for ages because I’m small with an actually documented slow metabolism…but now hitting early 50s I have been now dealing with all kinds of mineral and vitamin deficiencies (hair loss, low zinc, all, vit D,  anemia) and while doctors are ruling out very bad stuff they think it’s just years and years of not eating enough. my diet is similar to yours, though I usually skip breakfast and have only the smoothie at mid day and dinner or a piece of toast with protein and dinner…lately dinner has been like a bowl of soup too and I realize I eat less than my 83 yo mother by a lot.

if you’re really worried see an rd. I am supposed to start working with one although I’m putting it off because I knowit’s going to be rough to start as I do have a fear of gaining weight. It’s weird to be malnourished but not particularly underweight and thinking I’m eating “healthy”.
