I try to add a workout or two hours of walking (I try to take as many work calls as I can walking) most days, and then I can have a treat -- usually ice cream or homemade waffles or something along those lines (not pure sugar).

On days I'm very hungry in the morning, I add nuts (walnuts or almonds, usually) and flax to my oatmeal.

This is called anorexia

Hahaha I wish. I’m 174 pounds! That’s called a 52 year old perimenopausal woman with low iron, borderline cholesterol, and skirting the low end of overweight.

That’s 1,500 - 1,800 calories.

How much oil are you adding to your food? Are you gulping half n half?


There's no way you're eating 1800 from your diet plan (see below)

Coffee with 1/2 and 1/2 - 1 tub of half n half is 15 calories, so 20 calories here
11:00 1/3 cup cream of wheat (no milk, just boiled water to make it) or low fat plain Greek yogurt with homemade unsweetened granola and a teaspoon of honey - 150 calories
Afternoon snack - fruit, nuts, 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheeses, boiled egg white, or baby carrots - one banana is 120 calories
Dinner - 4oz chicken or fish and veggies - 200 calories

Total of 500 calories a day. nice try anorexia

What a weird hang up? Several people have posted essentially the same diet plans as me. You’ve got zero clue about calorie counts and anorexia.

I use Noom and can tell you exactly what my calorie count was of almost every day for 7 months (see cholesterol comment above). Every single day (minus holidays, vacation and cheat days) I’ve been bt 1500 and 1800 calories.

But I guess you know an anorexic when you see one.

It might not be anorexia but it is a sad way to live.

I do we and my diet is about 1200 a day

Breakfast : 2 eggs, 1 piece of sourdough bread, fruit
Lunch: Salad with protein (tuna, sardines, chicken, turkey)
snack: cottage cheese with fruit/tomatoes
Dinner: Fish/Chicken and roasted veggies... sometime 1/2 potato or 1 cup of rice.

I think you're my twin. I pretty much eat the same as you. I;m 46 and 4.11 and simply do not need any more food than this.

And a sad sad way to live. Do you exercise at all? I’m also a 52 year old in menopause and eat way more than that but I workout 5-6 days a week. Intense workouts most days not just walking. Normal weight. Id rather be fat then eat this way.

And she would rather eat this way than be fat. Why do you care?

She’s eating this way and IS FAT. Yes, that’s a sad life.

This is similar to what I eat. It's completely satisfying for me as a 46 year old woman. It wouldn't have been enough earlier in my life. I'm a healthy weight - if anything could stand to lose a couple pounds (5'6" and 150 lbs)

Egg white bites from Costco in the air fryer for 8 mins while I get ready

Hard boiled and stored in the fridge for the whole week

Crack 2 eggs (or egg whites ) and scramble on the stovetop, takes like 5 mins.
