Just wondering how much skinny people eat in a day and if I am over eating?

Im a small size - don’t eat until 11am - toast maybe, today was leftover rice from yesterday. Cup of tea in the morning, cup of tea in the afternoon, grilled chicken with salad this evening. That’s about it. Oh - and water in between. Stop eating at 6pm/630pm most days.

I intermittent fast too. I have a late lunch of vegetable soup at 4pm, then dinner at 8ish - lentils and halloumi, or pasta, risotto, chickpea curry for instance. Maltesers and an ice lolly for dessert. Black coffee and Coke Zero to drink.

Today so far

1 slice Toast butter and cheese
Packet of crisps
Lots of milk in endless tea
2 eggs ( one as an egg mayo sandwich with 2 slices bread)
2 shortcake busicuits
Handful or 2 of nuts
Sone pineapple
Dinner will be veggie chilli and rice and a dollop of chutney
Evening snacks and puddings likely - possibly rice cakes and cheese and 4 squares chocolate
And an apple if I feel healthy

Greek yoghurt, fruit, nuts, tahini

A wrap or salad or soup with some more fruit

Home cooked evening meals - from curries to veggie bean based dishes to stir frys to eggs/avo on toast if a lazy evening

A little dark chocolate or some nuts/prunes in the evening.

I run three times a week v early in the morning and go to Bodybalance once a week. I also work f/t in a job that involves lots of moving around and being on my feet.

If you are a size 10 and the same height as you and the same basic activity level as you

Otherwise it's meaningless

I'm a size 8/10 and am not skinny.
I intermittent fast so I don't eat anything between 8pm and 12pm. I eat pretty much anything i want in my eating period. We don't eat ready meals or fizzy drinks, not sure whether that has anything to do with it?

Do you drink tea or coffee between 8pm and 12pm or just stick to water?

I also do a lot of exercise. I am a powerlifter and I run a couple of times a week.

It might help if you tell us what you're eating.

In my experience what you eat matters far more than how much because calories are absolutely not equal in human metabolism.
