Subject: If you have a BMI of 18-20 (or lower) come in
I’m lower BMI. Like 17%. I have trouble with lots of foods and have a hard time enjoying food or eating. Even when I get hungry. I eat high protein shakes to help. It’s hard when you can’t eat a lot. Anything over 2-3 ounces and I feel sick. I’ve been to all sorts of doctors....

5'6, 117 BMI -18.9
3 meals a day, pretty much never eating in between meals, not interested in deserts. I've been vegan for the past 10 years, but my habits or portions never really changed. Love pasta, rice and vegetables. 1-2 glasses of wine with my dinner.

Yes, this is the diet of a bulimic. Notice almost everything is liquid?

20.1 so I just missed the cutoff. But I enjoyed a cookie and a latte yesterday so IDGAF.
20.94 fatty here. Yeah, I ate 3 Girl Scout cookies yesterday and I have a latte every morning, so that’s probably why I’m so lard-filled.
DP. The serving size for Thin Mints is 4 cookies. I eat 4 of them at a time, not 3.
The correct serving size for Thin Mints in one entire sleeve. I'll see myself out now.

I’m 110lb and 5 feet 4. I do intermittent fasting and eat what I want. But tbh my BMI has always been below 20 even when I ate two chocolate croissants for breakfast everyday and pasta with cream sauce for dinner a few times a week. I take no credit for it.

I’m always fascinated by these threads and the obsession with daily totals. I’ve lost weight four times in my life: after college and after each of three kids, each time losing 10+ lbs. And each time I started out counting calories, and it drove me crazy, made me obsessed, and almost certainly ultimately increased how much I ate. All four times as soon as I stopped counting calories and started just exercising for fun and eating unprocessed foods according to my appetite, the weight fell off.
Yesterday I ate: 3 eggs, oatmeal with blueberries walnuts sugar, whole milk latte + whey protein shake and nectarine + sweet green salad with chicken avocado egg pesto tortilla chips, bar of chocolate + brown rice and beef kabob and spinach for snack + jambalaya with chicken and sausage + a serving of talenti gelato. Easily over 2000 calories. And that’s what I eat to maintain my weight. I peloton 4 times a week and lift weights 2-3 times a week.
I honestly think severe caloric restriction and calorie counting only works if you’re solidly overweight, it does not help you lose the final few pounds! Women are screwing up their metabolisms by doing this. It’s so unhealthy AND not effective in the long run.
If you really think the average person could eat like that and weigh under 120 at your height you're crazy. I exercise more, eat less, and am bigger than you and not even by that much and I realize most people have it harder.
Right. As a former fat (was an obese teen) I can’t eat anywhere near 2k calories no matter how much I exercise. Blows my mind that someone with a great metabolism eating tons every day thinks the rest of us are just torturing ourselves for fun.
NP.
It's BS.

Thin people each much less. Its annoying when people come here and pretend to eat so much food.
I think a lot depends on how active you are. I weigh anywhere between 110-120 lbs most of the time, and I can eat 2000-2500 calories per day as long as I am running ~60 miles a week (I like to train for marathons--sometimes on a 20 mile day I might be up to 3000 calories) as well as walking the dog and being somewhat on my feet at work.
Very few average height women with regular day jobs can consistently eat 200-2500 calories and maintain 110-120 pounds. This would require losing about 500-1000 calories to exercise every single day. Most people do not exercise everyday. Most do not burn anywhere close to 1000 a day in exercise(what they will need to burn on the days they do exercise to make up for the days they do not.
Of course. I'm just saying it isn't impossible. When I'm training for a marathon, I run 6-7x a week, averaging 8-10 miles (1-1.5 hours) a day, with a couple of those runs at a harder efforts and one of those runs going 2.5+ hours where I could easily burn 1500+ calories plus whatever is required in muscle repair and adaptations after exercise. A friend of mine who wanted to actually lose 5-10 lbs to get faster who is 130-140 lbs and trains for marathons was told by her sports dietician to ensure she ate a minimum of 2100 calories daily and closer to 2600-3000 on long run days. It was actually messing up her hormones to eat under 2000 calories and her body composition improved once she started fueling correctly. All of us have jobs.

Just looked mine up and it’s 18.2. It really varies by the day. Today I had coffee for breakfast, lots of leftover chips & salsa for lunch, and a small piece of pizza for dinner. Yesterday I had coffee & almonds in the am, bagel with cream cheese & ruffles for lunch, takeout chicken fajitas and chips & queso (plus a margarita) for dinner. I go on random super healthy kicks with lots of fruits & veggies and exercise... this week is not one of those weeks. My weight rarely fluctuates though. 39yo mom of 3.

This is super sad.
It's sad that pp doesn't recognize that this is a healthy diet. For a small frame person (even at that height), it's more than enough calories. The reason that first pp can eat this way is because the foods are high in protein and healthy fats. The quality of the food matter more than the quantity of the food.
113 lbs at around 5'-7" is clinically underweight.
BMI is just a guiding tool. It is not an accurate tool for many people.
I am 5'8". At 130 pounds, my BMI is in a healthy weight range. It is 19.8.
However, I looked extremely thin at 132 pounds. My ribs were protruding out.
BMI is way off for me.
It could be slightly off for PP. (she is very close to BMI's standard). She might have a very small frame and less than average muscle tone.

Are you blind or just crazy? She ate rotisserie chicken and rice for dinner.
She has bananas for lunch sometimes. A brownie for dessert.
