[quote=Anonymous]And your last sentence reveals your whole agenda. Plenty of people are skinny eating whatever they want because they haven't wrecked their metabolisms by fasting and "splurging" on nutritious 700 calorie days. Plenty of people also don't WANT to be "skinny" they want to be fit and strong and healthy. I can eat 2000 calories and be skinny but being in shape and strong is better than just being skinny. If you're working out 5 days a week but fasting some days and consider 700 calories reasonable and even filling, I'm sorry, you have an issue. And it is not jealousy to point that out.

What issues? I am just curious if I need to see a specific Doctor? I go for annual exams once a year and all is fine. I am not on any medications, just vitamins. My blood pressure is 90/60, which is low, but I don't have any symptoms even if I don't drink coffee. All my blood test results are within range, including my thyroid blood tests. Overall, I feel good and don't get sick ( I never had a flue before and very rarely get cold in winter). What do you mean wrecked metabolism? I don't live every days on 700 calories, but some days I just forget or not hungry for one meal, and that may leave me with 700. Normally I eat between 100-1500, more likely around 1200. For example, yesterday I had a little bit of home made cottage cheese for breakfast, half of peach drizzled with honey and cup of black coffee. Small salad ( brought from home) and boiled egg for lunch. I got home from work late, after my family already had dinner and wasn't feeling like to eat at all that late. On days like that, I can grab a slice of watermelon, or tomato from the garden, or few nuts for dinner. I don't do it purposely and I don't count calories ( I did one year for a few month, just out of curiosity). So, I can just ballpoint that that was around 1000 calories max. If I have dinner, it would probably add 300-400 calories.

I don't snack usually, maybe that's why my calorie count comes lower. I also drink only water, unsweetened tea or coffee without milk or sugar. So, I [/quote]
