[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll bite. BMI of 19. 5'7 120.

Breakfast: one egg, one English muffin, 2 cups of coffee, piece of fruit (generally an apple but in the summer I prefer peaches and nectarines)

Lunch: Big salad with lots of veggies, light dressing, a few croutons (no bacon or cheese).

Snack: Bowl of fruit salad (pineapple, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, and blueberries)

Tonight we're having shrimp scampi and a side of steamed broccoli. I'll eat the shrimp and broccoli without the pasta.

Sometimes if I'm still hungry and everyone else is having dessert I'll have a yogurt so my kids don't see me not partaking. I think that sends the wrong message, especially to girls.[/quote]

This is like 800 calories ... [/quote]
Well she ain't gonna be eating 3000 calories and have a BMI of 19.[/quote]

This is what people don’t get. We all genetically have different levels of appetite-inducing hormones like leptin and ghrelin. Some people just don’t get as hungry as others. Hence they eat less. Hence they weigh less “without trying.” Simple.

(Btw this is one of the reasons weight loss surgery works. These appetite driving hormones are mostly produced in the stomach. Some of the WLS techniques remove part of your stomach, thus lowering the amount of hormones your body produces, thus leaving you less hungry in general.)[/quote]
