To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

its not goady and rhe answer is obvious. Anyone with a modicom of knowledge on nutrition knows this is an obese person. She doesn’t need to say it, it’s obvious, she’s a 5 foot 2 woman who is sedentary and who consumes 4-5000 cals a day. There is nothing she can be other than obese.

Are you Henry Viii?

I’ve read all your updates. Your diet sounds very ketogenic of which I’m a big fan. But must people done manage nearly so much calories. I’m struggling to imagine how you manage to eat this. I’d strongly suggest reintroducing vegetables for nutrients and fibre, and reducing the amount of fat/protein and particularly cheese. Reads up on Keto diets

Good grief!! I live alone and buy my cheese in 250g packs, and that lasts me over a week - and I love cheese!

As many others have said, where are the vegetables and fruit in your diet?

Honestly, we are constantly bombarded with advice on what we should and shouldn't be eating, how can you have reached your 40s and not know that your diet is very much the opposite of healthy? I eat far too much sweet stuff - but am cutting down because I know it's not good for me - so I'm not lecturing, but really your cheese and nuts intake is off the scale.

What a goady annoying thread. Are you over under or normal weight?

It's hard work for your body to use protein and fats for quick energy. Some carbs might actually take the edge off the chronic hunger.

You need to eat way smaller portions and more often. And stop with cheese. I bet your cholesterol is through the roof.

I can eat a 3 egg omelette, with peppers, tomatoes and a bit of mozzarella mixed in, and that would be a meal. I can’t imagine the meat you have with it as well.

i am overweight at 11st 1 (recently lost 10lb) I am 40. My cholesterol was 7.6 in October it’s now 5.4. That’s from cutting out cheddar and changing butter mainly. But I also eat more protein fist on my meals. I, in no way, ate like you do.

I didn’t really process the quantities at first but once I did it’s all I could think about.

Why don’t you just eat three regular sized meals? It seems like your one meal each day could easily just be batch cooking for a few days.

The cheese intake is very high. The nuts is something I might eat 100g of every now and then but not daily. If you were eating more regular meals you might not feel the need to eat the cheese and nuts. Or try pairing them with an apple or oatcakes to make them a more complete snack?

It sounds like a very chaotic approach to food, do you have history of ED?

A lb of cheese a day? That’s insane. Also you don’t seem to be getting many vitamins/nutrients.

Out of interest, what is your BMI at 5’2 and with that diet @ivyball?

I can’t tell if this is one of those “but I’m still a size 8!” type of MN threads or not.

It's revolting, trust me.

Shocking diet, not at all balanced. Where’s the fruit and veg and healthy grains? Way too much fat and protein. Do you feel well? Are you spotty and constipated? Surprised you haven’t had a heart attack.

Maybe op doesn't want to comfirn if shes over weight or not. It could be something that she's really struggling with mentally and emotionally.

Op Maybe you could talk to a dietician aboit heathly eatung if you want to.

I've recently started eating cheese after years of no dairy and I have to say it makes me heave!! What on earth am I missing!? Genuine question

Way too much saturated fat and way too little fibre and vit c. I find that cutting out an entire macronutrient group (in your case, carbs) is a recipe for chronic hunger.

I don't know of any athletes that consume a whole block of cheese a day. I've gone (relatively) high (healthy) fat, low carb on cuts before but it is not the best way to eat for muscle and strength growth.

So you’re eating over 3KG of cheese a week? That’s nearly 15000 calories.

And you weigh what? 33 stone?

I think people will obviously assume that the OP is very overweight if she has been eating around 2500 cals per day just on cheese and nuts not even including her actual meals over years. It would be hard to believe otherwise unless she's some sort of athlete, which she herself has said she's definitely not.

Oh cmon, no human being is not obese eating that, unless a serious body builder. No 5 foot 2 sedentary woman is not obese eating that so the answer is obvious, her family habe been telling her her weight is due to how much she eats and she’s been saying that’s not the case as she only eats one meal a day.

That’s got to be one of the strangest weekly eating plans I’ve seen. If you are low carbing you are still meant to vegetables / salad. Do you drink water? Are you not seriously constipated? I know we are told to increase protein intake nowadays but I don’t think they mean to that extent.

more food than a 6 foot man needs 😂

This is what I use:

3 bananas
2 eggs
90 g caster sugar
100 ml oil
150 ml any milk
125 g plain flour
75 g pea protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp pumpkin seeds on top
Bake 180°C / 160°C fan ~40–45 min

With regards to pea protein powder I use Sevenhills Wholefoods.

Hope that helps.

You describe disorderd eating. Have a look at the link with ADHD.

ADHD is strongly linked to several forms of disordered eating, especially binge‑type patterns. It also includes loss‑of‑control eating, emotional overeating, impulsive eating, and sometimes restrictive patterns.

The relationship is indirect and driven by shared traits like impulsivity, inattention, emotional dysregulation, and dopamine‑seeking.

Why won't OP tell us why she's asking, and whether or not she's actually overweight?? Tell us op!
