To wonder how she's not overweight?

[Dranktoomuchpepsi]

Slim! DFriend eats

Breakfast - Smoothie then Diet coke

Lunch - 2 piece chicken and chips with a drink.

Snack - maybe a chocolate bar.

That's it. Sometimes she will eat a bag of crisps to herself in the evening. I'm so jealous and she knows it I'm so baffled as to why she isn't overweight? She's a size 8/10 and looks great.

Drives everywhere so not really walking anything off. Will skip for 20 minutes 3 times a week but that's it. Again, I'm so envious

Is this supposed to be light hearted or something? The answer is obvious. Or did you miss posting her dinner?

Erm...because shes skipping her evening meal? She may be slim on the outside but if that’s a typical days diet then she wont be doing her long term health any good, no vegetables, not a balanced diet, no calcium, no fibre. Does she take supplements?

She isnt slim, she’s ill

She's not overweight because she only eats one meal a day.

Has she heard of vegetables? That reminds me of the diet of a colleague who has lots of issues with food and survives on small amounts of junk food. She is very slim but doesn't look well due to the lack of nutrients in her diet. Slim doesn't always mean healthy.

They aren’t eating a huge amount of calories are they?

Don’t get me wrong it’s not a healthy diet but calorie wise it’s not bad.

Smoothie- could be anything like 200-400 depending what’s in it
Diet cola- 0 calories

Chicken, let’s use kfc calorie info- 2 drumsticks 340 (170 calories each)
Regular fries-250
Assuming the drink is diet- 0 calories

A 45g bar of dairy milk for example- 240 calories

1x bag of walkers salt and vinegar from a multi pack - 130 calories

Not a great diet, but the above won’t make your arse fat

She only eats one actual meal a day.

That's doesn't sound much to eat for a day! Of course she is underweight. Add the skipping 3 times a week and that also burns lots of calories!

She’s barely eating, her calories probably equate to 1000 if that.

What a stupid thread

Weird post. That's hardly any food

Non of it is healthy, she is greatly missing out on nutrients and this will catch up with her. With that diet

You don't say how old or how tall - all these will be contributing factors.

It sounds as though she is just eating enough to get through the day. You are envious as you would probably like to eat that on top of what you already eat. Try following her diet for a week and then see what you think.

• on top of what you already eat and not gain weight.

This has to be a reverse or a joke?

She’s slim because she doesn’t eat very much at all!

Sorry, didn't add - Chicken and chips is chicken shop chicken and chips. A bit like KFC but the chicken is bigger and chips larger. She does have very good skin for those that asked! And I know she takes a multi vitamin.

I thought it would be more than 1500 calories because chicken and chips is very very high in fat

I don't know what chocolate she usually has. Probably a kinder bueno or something as she likes those

You've missed off her dinner.

Unless you mean she doesn't eat dinner, in which case there's your explanation.

Wtf

Reminds me of that Supersize Vs Superskinny programme that used to be on Channel 4. Lots of the superskinny people ate really unhealthy food, just not much of it.

There’s only around 240 calories in a kinder bueno so I take back my 1800 calories guess as I thought you meant a 100g bar and I’d say she probably eats less than 1500.

She isn't overeating though?

She's certainly storing up longer term health issues as it's a shit diet, but for now she will look good and get away with it just by being slim I guess? Won't necessarily last, she's hardly keeping her body healthy inside with the right nutrients.

It sounds like you both have very unhealthy attitudes towards food/appearance/body image and are in competition with each other. Would it make you feel better if she was overweight with bad skin?

She’s not eating that much. If she’s eating that and it is 1500 and she’s using 1500, she won’t put on weight because she’s not consuming more calories than she’s using.

Gut microbes also adjust to diets, she may have a lot of the kind that eat fat up a lot

I was going to say that’s not actually that much food but does she not eat vegetables?

Yabu.

Sounds like she does intermittent fasting and doesn't eat dinner. A very good way to keep your weight in check. Of course the food she eats could be healthier.
