[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I eat 1200 a day usually for half the week and do not feel like I’m going hungry. I’m 5”5 and that maintains my weight (115).

Tea in the morning with a quarter cup of soy milk. 30 cal. 
Banana. 100 cal.  (Or another fruit, or a low cal yogurt if you’re hungry still with some fruit). 
Lunch is usually a small portion of pasta (spaghetti with meatballs or whatever is left over from dinner). (400 cal)
Dinner will be a protein + broccoli or some other veggies / some sort of homemade pasta / rice + protein + veggie etc. About once a week will be a chipotle bowl (as low as 500 cal or less) or sushi.

Could snack with some nuts in the afternoon, but I don’t really get hungry. There were points in time in my life when this was not enough because I was overeating and then my stomach expanded and I wouldn’t feel full unless I consumed more in one sitting than I usually did. Would recommend having just small meals 4 times a day where you feel about 65-75% full. You should find yourself feeling like you don’t need to eat as much to be full. To be fair, I don’t usually work out so if you do, you’ll need to eat more to cover that energy expended.  I certainly will have more when I do.

If anyone thinks this is anorexic behavior, I’ve never had any issues at all, it’s just what I eat. [/quote]

This is similar to what I eat when I feel my best, and my ideal weight is also 115, although right now I'm over and just don't feel great when I run or bike.

Breakfast: Latte 
Lunch: Salad with protein 
Dinner: Ideally, grilled meat and veggies, but often this takes a back seat to my kids' preferences (pasta, homemade pizza, tacos)
Snack: Popcorn
