My mom is getting that way- she wanted to make a measly box of couscous mix as the main dish last time I was visiting! And will tell me that she ate a baked sweet potato for dinner.  I don't think she eats enough.[/quote]

People get less hungry as they get older. I'm fifty, and if it were up to me, I would just have a bowl of cereal for dinner.[/quote]

I'm 50, and have a hard time eating less than 2300 calories a day. Of course, I work out regularly and am still building muscle.[/quote]

I'm 50 and only moderately active.  I work a desk job.  I get a lot of my activity from chasing, carrying, playing with preschooler twins.  Recently I have been eating 1800-2000 calories a day because I need to slim down.  I've lost 6 lbs in 4 weeks eating this amount.  If I were trying to keep a stable weight, I'd eat 2000-2200 calories a day.

And yes, I am eating less now than I was in my teens, 20's and 30's.  Then, I was much more active and probably ate around 2400-2600 calories a day and wasn't gaining weight.  When I was in my 40's and started slowing down a bit, but still eating the same is when I gained the extra 25 lbs.
