[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea on calories. But here's what I ate today:

B: banana, oatmeal with flax and chia seeds, water
L: lentil soup, piece of sourdough bread, water
D: Marinated tofu, white rice, roasted broccoli, water
Dessert: a piece of chocolate covered strawberry from Trader Joe's[/quote]

OMG.  I would starve to death on that.  Are you kidding me?  That's all you eat?  [b]I'm 5'5", 130 pounds, and I eat at least 2,500-3,500 calories a day [/b]with at least 50 grams of that in protein every day.   I'm active but I'm not crazed about it - I walk or jog a few miles, my job keeps me active, and I have a lot of kids so I am running around the whole time I'm home - in other words it isn't like I'm training for a marathon.  If I ate what you eat in a day by afternoon time I would be so ravenous I probably would start eating my kids.[/quote]

3,500 calories day? Weird.[/quote]

Seriously that is a lot of calories for someone who's only 5'5 and not  doing much structured exercise.  I mean good for you - but don't discount your good genes that enable you to eat as much as you don and not be overweight.  [/quote]

I eat about that much without much structured exercise. I am a size 2-4, so not like a 00 or anything but a healthy BMI, like 21-22. However, I do agree genetics probably plays a role. My kids eat the same as all their friends but are consistently in a much lower weight percentile than height one. My father and mother were also both thin without dieting or effort, in fact my dad had trouble keeping weight on.[/quote]
