If you are a normal weight as in roughly within the range of healthy BMi what an average day of eating looks like?

I’ve just never been an average weight and I’ve just lost 7 stone but struggling to loose the last 4. I wonder how people who maintain a healthy bmi do it? Do you never have the odd piece of cake? Or chocolate? Do you generally eat well but indulge sparingly?

an entire sharing bag of tortilla chips
small portion of vegetable pasta

Tonight's dinner is roasted veg and sweet potatoes with halloumi.

I have had such an appetite since the season change, so today is a bit more than normal but I always have 3 proper meals a day...I do run 4x a week and do a lot of swimming though (I have a coach-not part of the dry hair brigade) which i think keeps my resting metabolism up...I also walk about 6 mile round trip to work Monday to Friday

I’m normal weight but I wouldn’t say I have normal eating habits. I skip meals. I bake and eat too many cakes, biscuits etc. Dinners this week have been roast chicken (all trimmings), papa johns (ds2 bday choice), lamb and rice, fish pie and spaghetti Bol tonight. But yes I do keep an eye on portion size and don’t eat after dinner.
