[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5'4, small frame, 108 lbs, and bmi 18.5

I'm not hungry in the morning so I usually only have black coffee. I'm hungriest during the day so I usually have a big lunch +snack. I'm less hungry at night but I want to eat with my family so I have a light(ish) dinner.

This is what I ate yesterday.

Lunch (12 pm)- fried rice with dried tofu, vegetables, eggs, + small apple

.5 cup cooked white rice
2 cups frozen vegs (carrots, peas, corn)
1 cup dried tofu
3 eggs

Snack (4 pm) 1/4 cup of almonds

Dinner 7 pm

.5 cup cooked white rice 
2? cups of chana masala (just tomatoes, chickpeas spices)
anjou pear

This is about 1300 calories.

Sometimes, I will have wine or beer with my meals.

Exercise is usually 60 min walk at 4 mph.[/quote]

You're that tiny, and you measure out half cups of rice and quarter cups of almonds for yourself?  [/quote]

I call BS on PP. 5'4" and walks 4 mph? Is she the Flash? I'm 5'6" and it's very very difficult to walk over 3.5 mph without breaking into a run.[/quote]

First pp here. 4 mph isn't fast at all. That's my normal walking pace. I can walk even faster (5 mph) than that without breaking into a run.  I also grew up in NYC where walking everywhere is the norm so maybe that's it. 4 mph is a brisk pace but it isn't fast. I can hold a normal conversation while walking at that pace.

The most important aspect of eating in moderation is knowing how to portion your food. I like rice with my food but it's just filler and I prefer to spend my calories where it counts- I rather eat more vegetables, protein, or fruits. An afternoon snack should be snack size. After a while, it becomes intuitive. I know what 1/2  cup of cooked rice or 1/4 cup of nuts look like without using a measuring cup.

How am I "tiny" ? I'm statistically average for a woman of my height and frame size. [/quote]
