If you are short and thin please tell me what you eat?

@snowballedinhell

I couldn't normally eat 800 calories easily in one meal without feeling crap afterwards - just a bit too much

Just goes to show we are all so different!

I am your height and goal weight. Mid 40s . I am active (running 2-3 times a week) and also I lift weights a couple of times a week which seems to help me be able to eat a decent amount : 3 meals a day plus the odd treat and snack , and alcohol at weekends. Especially as we get older I think being active is key for us all , even if just daily walking, otherwise the weight can creep up and be harder to lose.

I'm 5'4 and weight around 8 stone 10. I don't restrict myself but I naturally make healthy choices I think.
Breakfast is granola and fruit
Lunch can get skipped but I try to eat a sandwich or a salad
Snacks would be fruit, yogurt or a couple of biscuits
Dinner is always homemade with lots of veg as that's what I enjoy! I don't do puddings, again as I just don't enjoy them (unless I'm tired or have PMS!!)
I drink maybe 3 glasses of wine a week
I do exercise a fair amount though. I run around 15k a week and go to the gym twice a week for just over an hour each time. I work from home so job is sedentary but I walk for the school run and walk the dog too.

Also - one meal a day mainly, never breakfast

No alcohol

It's fairly fuckin miserable

I'm 5ft 1.5 - PCOS and weigh 7.5st

I eat 800 calories a day

I’m your height and your goal weight although sometimes I’m less and sometimes more.
I have a terrible relationship with food after having been quite naturally in the 7.5- 8 stone range for most of my adult life and then gaining a stone or two in pregnancy and after having kids. I now either calorie count extremely strictly, weighing everything I eat, or I go through periods of binging and eating anything I can find. I have a cut off though and have never been above 9.5 stone, it’s at that weight that I start the calorie counting.
It’s not healthy for my kind or body and I wouldn’t recommend it!

DD is
She is a vegetarian and doesnt eat fish or eggs either.
She likes pulses and some cheese, eats pasta but not with creamy sauces
She eats lots of vegetables but not much fruit
She does like Sourdough or other seeded bread and the odd bagel but not a huge carb fan.

My issue is I can go for a couple of days barely eating anything, but then some days I can't stop eating. I try and eat a main meal and then will either have snacks or one other small meal.
I'm quite skinny and 165cms. I do drink alcohol, I think if I didn't I would lose weight.

I'm 5'3" and I weigh just above 8st. My BMI is 20.

I eat around 1500 calories a day during the week and whatever I want at the weekend. I also do high intensity exercise 3 times a week.

During the week I don't touch bread, I eat only between 10am and 6pm, I don't eat crisps, cake or biscuits. I don't eat processed food or meat. I drink very little alcohol.

I am naturally slim and I used to be able to eat anything and not put on weight. I find that as I get older though, I have to be much more disciplined to stay at my current weight.

5'2 and 8 stone. im 59. i eat, not much to be honest, I have a sedentary job, but my off time I'm very active ( i have horses). I don't drink alcohol, don't eat breakfast, rarely eat before 3pm and generally have one meal a day. I gain weight easily. and i don't want to so I discipline myself. But I do eat chocolate if I feel like it !

But that's the full food for 24 hours?

I will never be thin again will I 🤔

I'm 5"4 and 7 stone 7. I eat healthy whole foods, very little processed at all.

Yes, that's likely. I'm filling up on water during those times.

Crucially, I don't feel especially hungry with it because I reckon my stomach is quite small. Then when I do eat, I feel full really fast. I usually need a few goes at a plate of food before I've finished it.

Taller but under 10 stone

Eat breakfast - cheese buttie, or eggs and toast or peanut butter on toast
Crisps
Nuts
Lunch - buttie or salad - cheese , tuna that sort of thing , sometimes a veggy soup
Dinner yesterday was 2 egg chips and coleslaw ( homemade) ( shop mayo )
and today is lentil bolognaise with pasta
Chocolate biscuit
Probably a drink tonight as it's Thursday and perhaps more crisps or a handful of sweets
2 fruit - strawberries and plums today

It's in the portion sizes
Compared to many in the office I have a small bag of crisps not large , a two bar kit kat not a four bar one , loads of veg

Also it's home made bread - which comes out smaller than modern white loaf so you need way less cheese to fill it up - I get away with half a ton of sardines whereas the shop bread needs a whole tin

Yeah, definitely staying off daily alcohol makes a huge difference.

My weight here between March and May was when I was having a couple of glasses of wine every evening with a boyfriend who drank a lot. You can see it just shoots up.

It’s probably the fasting / long breaks in between meals that helps keep the weight off maybe?

I'm 5ft 3, weight just under 9 stone.

I genuinely eat whatever I want, whenever I want, even though I'm 55 years old and perimenopausal with an underactive thyroid.

But what I have noticed is I seem to eat less than a lot of overweight people, whose eating habits I've been privy to.

So it's probably more to do with the fact I eat 2 meals a day and rarely snack as I just don't get that hungry.

I also don't drive, so walk mostly everywhere.

I also barely drink alcohol. I think that's an important one.

One of the key points for me is, do not succumb to the cakes and biscuits that invariably hang around in offices etc. I buy grapes and strawberries for my wards, not chocs!

I'm the same height and I'm eight stone.

I tend to eat what I fancy, but I don't have a massive appetite so usually that's one big meal in the evenings. I'm not hungry for breakfast and I can't be bothered to get lunch a lot of the time.

For my dinner, I'll have whatever I like. I love a curry or a burger or really buttery pasta. I don't consider calories at all. I don't actually know very much about how many calories are in things. It's all about what will taste nice, so I throw in a lot of olive oil or butter.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth so I'm not having cake or biscuits much. I am a bit of a hazard around crisps though. I'll eat an entire multi pack in an evening so I don't buy those all the time because I couldn't afford to keep up with myself!

I drink an absolute ton of water every day. No alcohol, unless it's the weekend and I'm out with friends. When I've been dating someone who drinks in the week and I get tempted to join in regularly, I pile it on.

I also don't drink any sugary drinks regularly and never have tea or coffee.

I wouldn't say my diet was particularly healthy so I wouldn't encourage you to copy it! But since you asked!

I'm 5"4 and around 8st 10 most of the time. I'm on my feet a lot at work (long shifts) and I am pretty mindful of my eating habits altho I still eat rubbish on occasion!! Today I grabbed odds and ends from the fridge as have Ocado coming late tonight, so I've been at work not drinking enough but this is what I've planned for the shift :
1 sourdough bagel with Philadelphia light
One large avocado
A turmeric shot
Cup of tea (ideally with lactose free milk)
Choc oatie bar 130cal
Largish pot of cottage cheese with pineapple

Will probably pick up a sweet potato and brocolli cold salad from M&S on my way home later and have a twister or something before bed.
