I don't know, I buy it. I'm 46 and I started putting on a little weight this year (I've been a steady 5'6" 145 pounds for a decade and this year swung up to 150). I did a calorie counter for a month as a check in - I did not change my diet. I was only eating 1400-1600 calories a day. And at that amount, I was gaining weight.

I decided I didn't care and that I'd keep the extra pounds and keep eating the moderate way I already do. But I imagine that for many women, if you want to keep a thin body as you go through perimenopause, you have to cut way farther back than you thought.

she looks, and based on her stats is, skinny fat. She does not look malnourished though, which is why I doubt she really only eats 900 calories.

Skinny Fat? And you wonder why so many American women have eating disorders and body dysmorphia.

Skinny fat just means a slim frame but little muscle mass, which sounds about right. (NP)

Also, I think Heidi is well below 137 lbs, I'd guess more like mid 120's. I was 5' 9" and 138-140 lbs my whole adulthood (until kids/middle age!) and I had considerably more meat on my bones!

Agreed. I'm her same height, 126lbs. I lift weights, eat clean and don't drink and I know I don't look like this. Maybe she has "heavy bones"

I've had a bmi of 20 (not today though!) - When I do, I'm thin, but not extremely thin.

Plenty of 50 year olds can eat whatever they want in moderation and be 5’9” and 137 lbs.

No. They can't. That is extremely thin. Your thinking is already disordered.

Granted, I’m only 46. But I’m 5’9” and 134 lbs. I eat whatever I want. Lots of carbs, dessert most nights, glass of wine most nights. Wouldn’t ever dream of counting calories. I wear a size 6. I’m a completely normal, healthy weight for my body, not extremely thin at all.

Really? Because I'm 50 and only one person I know 50+ can do this. And, I have a lot of friends. I routinely could eat anything, but as soon as I turned 48 I had to drastically change the diet I'd had for decades. I have no opinion on Heidi Klum or her diet, but I find your assertion is dead wrong.

What part of in moderation don’t you all understand?

That's really not "extremely thin", it's just not. She is well within the range of normal weight for her height. Maybe that upsets you for your own personal reasons. In terms of her calorie intake, my guess is her age + being a model has impacted her metabolism.

I don't the statistics in America bear this out.

Skinny fat?

God, the harpies of DCUM all have body dysmorphia.

According to https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html, a woman of her age and that reported weight and height would require 1472 calories just to maintain weight, assuming no exercise. (That can very from person to person, but not a lot.) Since her job is to look fit, I assume she exercises a lot - like several hours a day - which means she probably needs 2000-2500 calories.

It's possible that when she's preparing for a photo shoot, she cuts down to 900 for a limited period. That's not healthy, but it does make her look "healthy."

I wouldn’t take page six as fact
