So I ate too much today.

I've been eating around 1200 calories daily, and today I had about 3000, due to this dip we bought today having a lot in it. How much do you usually eat every day?!

Anywhere from like.... 300 - 2000something .... depending on how much I eat that day. Sometimes I don't eat very much, since I don't really have regular eating habits.

300 calories minimum? No wonder you're such a bloody twig!

0 - 1500

The past few days have been the lower end!

...I don't even know how to keep track of that.

But as high as 2000.
Women are generally advised 1400.

Men are advised about 1600.




As for me, I normally have about 1600-1800, depending on what is made/given for dinner.
There are no nutrition labels on our school food.

I don't know, but it's probably unhealthy, but having high metabolism makes life fun.

1500+ daily, yet I've stayed the same weight for the past 2 years!

I've been told I should eat like anywhere from 1800-2200 because of my height, though I try to eat less than this because lately I've felt... rather unconfident about my weight to say the least.

And hearing all you guys' dietary habits hardly helps that confidence at all, Jesus. I feel like such a fatty amongst you folks.

I eat probably around 1200 calories a day due to an empty kitchen and my mom going to BP and getting us something to eat for the day

i dont care. i eat when and how much i want. i dont get fat so why hold back?

It just depends on however much I want to nomnomnom that day.

I guess on average it's probably somewhere around 900-1400 but I'm not sure! I don't really pay attention.

ITT: Mrs. A b'awws about her weight until Medaf wakes up from his nap and shuts her up.

God dang it, you skinny thing, how I envy your ability to not be hungry all the time like me.

general food intake for me is like

slimfast for breakfast
idc for lunch, if I don't feel like making anything I just drink another slimfast
and then dinner lol




if I happen to get stoned that night though then I probably eat like a ****load more than I should

From the pictures I have seen one you(two, I think), you are rather thin.
Frankly, I love a women with a nice full figure.
Enough to hold and not feel like you will break her when you hug her.
But really, it also kinda depends on where the calories are coming from.
Not to mention your exercise habits.

And for the record, I don't even know how much I intake. It was an estimate.



But regardless, I think you look fine.
What you intake sounds about right for a student.
And of course, it also depends on what meals you eat(maybe you skip certain ones) and how much you eat during them.


If you didn't know this, and it helps, then try reversing the typical American diet.
Eat like a king for breakfast, prince for lunch, and pauper for dinner.
That might be hard for a student, but it will give your metabolism a good start to balance out all the calories you may intake.
An alternative is just to drink some coffee to start your metabolism, I guess.

I love sleep, so I usually wake up late and don't have time for breakfast. I don't really eat at school, sometimes I'll have something after I get home from school... and then I'll have something for dinner.


Yeah... not very healthy eating habits.

Grab some coffee to jumpstart your metabolism.

I find that when I drink it, it will just make my dinner from the previous night digest instantly.

I loathe coffee.

Also, I have a fast metabolism anyway. If I don't eat anything for breakfast, I can go most of the day without being hungry. If I eat something for breakfast, I'm hungry within a couple hours.

Yes, and most guys actually do like "a little meat on a girl's bones" (Medaf included), but I have an age-old hangup with weight and the insatiable desire to be frail.

Also, ha ha, exercise -- you're funny.

And yeah, I know all the diet strategies. My problem is they simply cannot sustain me. Recently, I've been able to starve up until lunch, and more or less live on a few bites of this or that for dinner (with a maybe bit larger than average lunch thrown in there somewhere), but even then -- certain times of the day I start losing my ability to see straight, think clearly, or even hold my pen steady. It's really frustrating, because I feel like it's not the food I miss and desire, it's the fact I literally lose control of myself if I don't eat enough food. And when I have a clouded mind, I simply can't function -- I rely so heavily on quick wits and a ready mind that if I'm even a little bit out of it, I can't bear it.

I mean, back in freshman year (high school), I could cope with the dizzy spells and inability to cognate because school was easy and people were dumb -- but now I just can't do that anymore, y'know? I'm nothing without my intellect.

Oh, and I don't drink coffee in the morning, but I do have Sugar-Free Red Bull (10 cal.). It wakes me up faster and is easier to store in our minifridge.
