[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]He may binge eat in secret=no way to be 210 with eating normal amounts of food at 5 8=so emotional eater[/quote]

My DH is 5'8 and 240 and eats considerably less than I do at 5'4 and 115. He is eating a small breakfast and a normal sized dinner, maybe a piece of fruit in between.  (I am basically a hungry squirrel eating all day).  Very different appetites and metabolism.   He could be active more consistently but there is no issue with his calorie intake.  He's had all the blood work.  Hopefully he'll get Ozempic at some point.

His family is the same. SIL eats about 4 bites of food per meal and it would be never occur to her to have a snack. Shes not overweight but probably on the higher end of normal. They are all fighting [b]crappy metabolism[/b]. [/quote]

Have they had blood work and metabolism tested? I did a BMR test years ago because I was convinced I had a crap metabolism, nope, it was 100% normal, I was just eating too much.

I know the concept of binge eating and eating in secret is difficult for those who don't struggle with food, or their weight,  is hard to imagine, but it is a lot more common than people realize. So many people with food issues eat "healthy" and small portion in front of other only to binge or eat the "bad" foods in private. For those who struggle with food and their weight this is so much shame and guilt tied to what they eat. [/quote]
