Warm water
Huge coffee - French roast - with two sugars and whole milk
Energy bar - all kinds of seeds and nuts - snack from Sprouts - it’s like kids size cliff bar
Small lentil soup from prett; no bread.
Warm water
I was craving something sweet so ate peach breakfast bar from Trader Joe’s I think
Earl grey tea
Steak salad - half; restaurant meals usually are too large so I eat half almost all the time.
Lots of warm water

Today I had:
Breakfast: glass of water and toast
Midmorning: small chocolate bar
Lunch: Spicy chicken sandwich from Ghostburger, a Coke
Dinner: Grilled chicken, cabbage and carrot salad, corn on the cob, another Coke
Dessert: Bowl of ice cream
I honestly think my thinness is a combo of genes and being pretty active. I don't diet and don't pay much attention to what I eat. If I have a craving I try to satisfy it, whether that's a bag of potato chips or a chocolate bar or some fresh veggies or a burger. I figure it's my body's way of telling me what I need.
You are underweight.

I weigh what I weigh. People come in all shapes and sizes. I don't personally think you can know if someone is a healthy weight from their stats because everyone's frame is different.

It is really disturbing that people think having some depth of knowledge about food is a sign of an eating disorder.
But mentally noting every calorie you eat and adding them up- when you aren't overweight, does seem obsessive and disordered.
I didn't read it that way. I track my budget and know what I spend on everything. I am not in debt, have no financial problems -- but part of the reason for that is that I know what I am spending and what income I am receiving. I wouldn't think to myself, oh, I don't have any money problems. Why am I tracking all this?
I look at food in the same way. I'm not overweight, but I spent a lot of time getting to know the calories and nutritional content of food. I always look at labels. I want to know what I'm eating (as much for the ingredients as the calories).
I think people on this forum are ready to pounce. To me it is bizarre to accuse someone of having an unhealthy relationship with food because she mentioned the calories.
You are missing the point. The question wasn’t how many calories do you eat, it is what do you eat. So what is your reasoning for giving everyone an in-depth calorie breakdown for everything you ate, in Kcal. Sorry but that was bizarre
