[quote=Anonymous]I used to monitor my calories and still loosely do, mostly because I'm a math person and I like to sort of know how my metabolism is doing as I age.  So I'll eat 2,700 calories a day with absolutely no remorse or shame, but I'll write it down, along with my exercise.  (it's helpful, because if I do start gaining weight, I can look back and say, "oh, ok, I've been eating 2,700 calories and burning only 500 on exercise, maybe I should dial back the cadbury mini eggs.")  As a runner, I've always kept a running log, so the food log was an extension of that.

A lot of people who track food very religiously, if they're not actively dieting or maintaining, do have some disordered eating patterns.  I'm starting to think my current renter may have an eating disorder, as I've noticed she never eats in front of people, and has taken on a very restrictive paleo-type challenge (no processed foods, no sugars, no dairy, no alcohol, no caffeine...) when she was already gluten-free.[/quote]
