Dessert: a piece of chocolate covered strawberry from Trader Joe's

I would be starving and hangry with this menu.

Yeah, then it's not for you. But it worked for me on Tuesday (I think it was tuesday?) so that's what I had. It's enough for me to work full time, work out for an hour and a half (not continuously), be a mom and a wife and dog-owner, and be happy. Maybe twice a week I'll feel my belly rumbling and will have some carrot sticks or almonds or an apple. But in general, I don't snack and am satisfied.

That looks like about 1000 calories. Just saying…

Why? Most women who replied have a normal BMI and are petite or medium height.
How many of them would be advised by a professional to gain weight?

Not all..but there are a handful of sample diets do seem to be very minimal calories and intentionally restrictive.

I know this might be hard to believe but once formed good habits become unintentional.
Most overweight people use their own logic to point out some sort of calculation "intentionally starving" when in reality most thin people don't think much about food, let alone obsess with calories.

That's why the legendary chocolate covered strawberry is someone's satisfying sweet treat and to others a sign of disgusting disordered eating. It's a huge contrast of what amount of food / sugar can make one satisfied.

She didn't eat a WHOLE chocolate covered strawberry; she had a PIECE of a chocolate covered strawberry. A PIECE of a strawberry with some chocolate on it!!!!! Even large strawberries are small. She had a PIECE of some small thing. That's a sign of someone with a problem.

I’m obese and I think you’re completely right. So many of us are totally out of touch with what an appropriate amount of food is.

Snack: 1/2 butter croissant

Lunch: salmon with quinoa salad and spinach

Snack: 1/2 butter croissant with coffee/milk, or tortilla chips with hummus, or cheese and apple

Dinner: roast chicken, macaroni salad, HB egg, strawberries

I’m actually trying to gain a couple of pounds which is why I added the full fat dairy and snacks. Sometimes spouse brings me a taco home after dinner or a bag of nuts.

Lunch - a bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, avocado and sliced tomato, with water on the side. I swear since I started eating this a year ago, my usual state of "borderline UTI" has stopped.

I sometimes have a snack in the afternoon - like a chocolate from valentines day or whatever.

At 7pm, DH and i have a cocktail every day. Plus half the time I have a little small bowl of bar snacks - like smoked almonds or a handful of cheese sticks. Dinner ranges from terribly unhealthy (like a giant bowl of cheesy pasta) to decently healthy, but always vegetarian. Dinner is almost always homemade with fresh ingredients, but we eat too much at dinner - it's our weakness. I have dessert a few nights a week - like a full on big cake slice or similar.

I run every day for 30 mins (weekdays) to an hour (weekends).
