To ask what you eat in a day if you are a size 10 or less

I'm 5ft 4 and size 10.

Porridge with honey or banana for breakfast.
Toast or a sandwich for lunch

Dinner can be
Chicken or pork stir fry
Shepherd's pie
Lasagne
But mostly just plain meat or fish and veg

I have IBS so can't tolerate a lot of foods

Today -

Sausage sandwich for breakfast at work around 9am, but more usually I just have a cup of tea and two chocolate digestives as my breakfast about 10am. I had both of those today.

Tuna and tomato sandwich and McCain Microchips, and some homemade carrot cake for dinner. Can of coke.

Fish and chips for tea, probably another cup of tea and a biscuit.

Cheese on toast and cereal before bed. Apple and a banana somewhere through the day.

I run about 6 miles once a week, no other exercise really.

I very rarely eat breakfast (just don’t get hungry in the morning) but will have a latte and a couple of cups of tea. Monday to Thursday usually a small lunch (soup or salad perhaps) then dinner can be anything (pasta, stir fry, curry, fish or meat and veg). I eat whatever I want on a weekend. I don’t eat biscuits or cake but have an occasional piece of chocolate. That’s because I don’t have a sweet tooth. I also don’t drink fizzy drinks as I don’t like them. My snack weakness is crisps but other than those I don’t usually eat between meals. I usually run two or three times a week and do Pilates as well. I have quite a slow metabolism unfortunately. I’m size 10, but definitely not skinny!

I honestly used to be the same! I couldn't do anything until I'd eaten breakfast as soon as I woke up. You can train yourself out of it. It'll take time and will be hard to start with but it's so worth it. I feel amazing.

5ft 6 and post menopause so not exactly tall

Better than average muscle development and activity levels I would say

I was interested in your reasoning that's all, it's ok to say you don't feel comfortable sharing that 😊

For me, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I can't function without it and I just crave all day and want the undesirable snacks if I skip breakfast. I can skip lunch if my work day is too busy and it won't have the same effect but I just can't skip breakfast.

Maybe my body has just trained itself that way!

My menu yesterday:

Breakfast
1 slice of toast with 1 scrambled egg

Snack
2 kit kat fingers

Lunch
Ham sandwich

Snack
Mcchicken with coke

Dinner
Rice with chicken, tofu and green vegetables

I am a size 10 and not 'skinny'. I don't eat from 7pm at night until 1pm on my lunch break. Normally have a chicken salad for lunch then some fruit as a snack. This means I can normally have whatever I want for dinner - as well as desert. I prefer to eat fewer times in a day so I can enjoy the foods I really enjoy.

Im an 8 and not much tbh! Im always being told to eat more but literally cba.
Hot choc with skinny milk for breakfast. usually an apple and a slice if toast and peanut butter for lunch. a biscuit and a few grapes about 4.
normal dinner like chicken kiev,peas/broccolli/asparagus in the evening. no pudding. water/coffee to drink.

Size 10 isn't skinny if you're short.

I'm a size 8-10.

Today I've eaten:
3x coffee with milk
1 chicken breast
Bowl of raspberries with Greek yoghurt, flax seeds and walnuts

Later on will have cauliflower rice and home made chilli.

Cereal or porridge for breakfast, fruit

Sandwich and piece of fruit for lunch, or dinner left overs.

Dinner e.g. pasta Bolognase

Evening snack (pudding) after kids in bed would be something like a piece of lemon and poppyseed sheet pancake with greek yog and honey, or a hot cross bun/slice of fruit loaf, before 9pm, with a cuppa.

My kids and DH all snack throughout the day but I don't. DH cut out snacks for a week and lost 6kg!!!

Breakfast:

• Porridge with fruit/honey/peanut butter
• eggs on toast
• avocado on toast
• cereal of my choice

Lunch:

• Soup and bread
• Wraps with chicken/cheese/salad
• Jacket potatoes with Tuna/Cheese or Beans/Cheese
• Avocado and seeds on Sourdough bread

Afternoon snack:

• piece of fruit
• cup of tea
• cheese and biscuits

Dinner:

• Whatever I fancy e.g.
• Spag bol
• Chorizo pasta
• Chilli con carne
• Sausage and mash
• Stir fries

Something sweet:

• fruit / yoghurt
• small bowl of cereal
• mug cake
• chocolate
• cookies

I will say that most of my food is cooked from scratch, and I exercise a lot. Two dog walks a day as well as strength training, yoga, and running. My portions are also not ridiculous.

I eat when I’m hungry, I aim for 5 a day, and I make sure there’s always some protein on my plate. But I eat a fair few snacks too, so I think this is just my size if I’m honest.

16 hours isn't that long. I've done longer occasionally. Fasting has many health benefits and helps with weight loss. If you google there's loads of info out there.

Just plain tap water. Nothing else at all.

I'm not sure it's got to do with eating I'm 5ft6 and weight 53kg I've always been skinny and I eat the same has everybody else in the house.
I don't have smaller portions than anyone else.
I eat snacks cakes and sweets when I want and drink at least 5 can of coca cola a day.
I've been a size 10 since my teens.

I don’t eat between 8pm and 12 pm the next day

I have lunch either a ham cheese and salad wrap, a salad with lots of protein or left overs from dinner

Lots of tea and coffee

Afternoon snacks occasionally a 79 calorie treat or a load of carrot / peppers / mini cucumbers / cherry tomatoes

About twice a week a small bowl of kettle chips

Dinner: always homemade and including protein, veg and a carb. Last night was bolognaise, day before was grilled chicken with rice and veg, tonight will be grilled salmo, roasted veg and roasted new potatoes

Evening; more raw veg, a couple of corn rice cakes or a mini magnum

Today so far I’ve had: Lunch left over roast veg and a small bowl of bolognaise meat, 3 mini cucumbers and a carrot. Out for dinner tonight so will try not to eat before we go.

Glass or 3 of wine Friday and Saturday

Are you tall? I was very overweight on that sort of intake.

Which goes to show, hard and fast food rules are useless, as well as misery making.

Wow really? So you don't eat breakfast the next morning and just power on through from 8pm in the evening until 12pm lunch next day? 16hrs is a long time to withhold food for, especially doing it daily! What's your reasoning behind the fasting if I'm allowed to ask?

I try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible. I also try to stick with the 80/20 rule so I can still eat the foods I enjoy but just not over indulge. I have days where I eat 2 bacon sarnies more than a pig, but have more days where I try mindfully eat and I also try to exercise between 3-5 days a week incorporating 1 or 2 30-min HIIT workouts to boost my metabolism (needed more so now I'm post 30 😭🤣). I was overweight as a child and I had a brief chubby spell during covid when I think the entire world gained about 3st, but aside from that I've always been a size 8-10. I've read and studied a lot of the impacts certain foods have on your body and I found that was the most effective way to stay on track - having that knowledge was a real eye opener for me.

Im a size 8.

I’m gluten free (not by choice) so I don’t really eat out or have takeaways.

generally I have cereal for breakfast.
lunch is a panini with salad.
dinner is usually either pasta or something like a spaghetti bolognaise.

i prefer to eat little and often .. so generally smaller meals and then some snacks.
I have a small amount of chocolate every day.

i do exercise a lot … I run 4 or 5 times a week (about 40k a week at the mo)

Im size 8-10. 5’10 and 9 stone 6 lbs
I eat the following every day :
breakfast : coffee, porridge (Quaker pot) I add to it a chopped banana, berries, peanut or almond butter.

mid morning coffee and pastry (usually a croissant)

lunch : either 1 chicken breast with salad or some prawns and salad, hard boiled egg and a fruit pot (usually melon and strawberries) water

mid aft coffee and an apple

dinner : something like pasta or curry , or salmon potato and veg . Dessert is Greek yogurt flaked almonds and berry compote ( I have it every day because I love it !)

It totally depends. On Monday I had porridge for breakfast, a pasta salad for lunch, and chicken pasta for dinner (and went a 5k run after work). Yesterday I had a roll and potato scone for breakfast, a crappy pulled pork panini from the canteen for lunch, and chicken and rice in teriyaki sauce for dinner. Today I had porridge and a Starbucks for breakfast and am having a salad for lunch.
