While I think that OP has every right to ask this question I do admit to wondering what the motivation is.  OP, are you asking because you want to be "skinny" or for some other reason?[/quote]

Not OP but I’m guessing OP wants to see if women are thin based on genetics or choices.  I believe the consensus is thin women are thin because they are disciplined and/or restrictive in what they eat, or they have a low appetite.  Very very few thin woman over 35 are eating giant burrito bowls and pastries on the regular.  If they claim to they are either lying, having just a couple bites, or an extreme athlete. [/quote]

I agree people want to see if there is a magic bullet.  I don't tend to think so but think some people are naturally built to be thin without having to deprive themselves and I put myself in that bucket.

I am 48, thin (BMI=20) and here is my routine.

Breakfast:  Toast with butter, coffee with full fat milk
Lunch:  Salad with protein and avocado probably 2-3 days a week and the other days leftover dinner or a sandwich and some fruit.  Whatever is around.
Dinner:  What I make for my family - pasta dishes, pizza, tacos, fajitas, chili, turkey burgers and fries...generic family fare and things kids will eat too.

On weekends, I kind of eat whatever.  Including a burrito bowl some times.  I genuinely eat anything but I think my portion sizes are pretty normal.  And I don't really snack or eat between meals.  I also tend to just think of food intake as a big checkbook.  It needs to balance overall.  Some days/weeks I'm eating more and then I need to balance it out by having smaller portion sizes for a bit.  But I make the adjustments just on my own, don't count calories or anything.

I'm active.  Walk a lot, active with my kids.  I don't exercise intensely.[/quote]
