    Default How many calories do you eat everyday?

    I got a calorie counting app, not to lose weight just more out of curiosity. I'm 5'6 and have always weighed around 95-105lbs (I'm not anorexic or bulimic or a cokehead/crackhead/junkie contrary to popular rumors). I've been tracking calories for 2 weeks and I eat between 700-1300 calories a day. I always thought I ate a normal amount of food but I guess not.

    How much do you regularly eat?

    700-1300 is a normal amount of calories. you just have a small frame and thats the amount your metabolism requires. I personally find it really hard to eat more than 800-1200 unless im eating junk food which is obviously not healthy. theres no magical number for everyone, just whatever fits you.

    the healthiest diet is one that is plant based and there arent many calories in fruits and veggies at all. I often make myself massive salads and even including avocado (very high calorie) they are always under 200 cal because there are barely any cals in tomatoes, cumbers, onions, spinach, etc, all the things that are good for you and I like in my salad. same with meat, a 200 cal portion of chicken or fish is very filling, I really cant eat much more than that, its when you cook the meat in butter, oil, with lots of cheese, etc that you add tons of cal...but maiy to add taste, not nutrients.

    I always think its weird that the standard for women is 2000 cal and men is 2500. Im not 4/5 the size of most healthy men and neither are most of my healthy friends. Im more like 1/2 so 1200 seems just fine to me, and if I eat over that I gain. i dont want to be 4/5s the size of a healthy male. Im a foot shorter, much smaller frame, with far leaner muscles. if I was 4/5s then I would just be fat.

    Okay, I want to point out to all the ladies on here who are looking at this thread that the OP and Charlotte are VERY VERY off about what is "normal".

    An anorexic commonly eats BELOW 1000 calories/day. These two are exhibiting signs of a person with anorexia nervosa. I am NOT saying they are anorexic, but rather that their eating is NOT HEALTHY. The FOOD they are eating is healthy and full of nutrients but they are NOT eating enough and that is why it is unhealthy.

    A lot of the newer memebers here don't know me from Eve, but I had an ED since I was 13, and only just the year can truly say I have "recovered". I have been in and out of psychologists/therapists/nutritionists offices and went through extensive out-patient therapy. I know disordered eating when I see it and they have disordered eating.

    I am not meaning to start any drama but I don't want any of the ladies on here to think that eating only 1000 calories a day is healthy. It's not. I know. And if my word isn't good enough, I went onto the Mayo Clinics website to their calories calculator. I put in a 5 foot tall woman at 95 lbs living a sedentary life. She shouldn't need to eat that much right? The calculator said 1500 calories. 1500 FOR A TINY SEDENTARY WOMAN JUST TO LIVE. Yeah some of us have slower metabolisms . I myself suffer from HYPOthryoidism (a result of my years of disordered eating) and so don't need to eat a lot to maintain my weight. I eat between 1200-1500 calories a day. I'm a size 6 and am 5ft4in tall and mostly muscle now, and I am PROUD of that. It's taken me a long time to get there.

    I know a lot of us NEED to be thin so that calls for less calories eaten, and many of us are trying to loose weight, which also calls for less. But even so you still need to eat enough to NOT screw up your body. It has to last a long time. Please eat and take care of yourselves. Don't damage yourselves. To be sure, go see a qualified nutritionist to make sure you're not hurting yourselves. You're strippers-you should be able to afford at least one visit.

    FRAME SIZE
    If you have always wondered what size frame you are, here is the method the insurance company used. This will be easier with the help of a friend.

    Extend your arm in front of your body bending your elbow at a ninety degree angle to your body. (your arm is parallel to your body).
    Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist to your body.
    Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent bones on either side of your elbow, measure the distance between the bones with a tape measure or calipers.
    Compare to the medium-framed chart below. Select your height based on what you are barefoot. If you are below the listed inches, your frame is small. If you are above, your frame is large.

    Pap, I commend you on your struggle with ED & I would also like to think that 1200 calories is about minimal for health. When I see 700 calories a day I wonder what is being consumed? I do think that sometimes food is a after thought for some people & not ED but let this thread be a reminder.

    @pappilonluvr I said my calorie intake WASN'T normal. I'm not confused about what a normal caloric intake is. I'm aware my eating habits are below average that's why I said " I thought I ate a normal amount of food but I guess not". I don't consciously try to eat as little as I do and I'm not condoning any under eating.

    um anorexia is a real disease that is not defined by the amount one eats or how much they weigh but their relationship with food. I have a healthy body and a healthy relationship with food. I eat when im hungry, stop when im full, eat more on active days, and dont binge eat or feel shame after eating. I used to eat 2000 cal because that is what people say is normal but it was too much. I was anemic, medically overweight, and all the food made me too lethargic to function. now im at a healthy weight, and much happier. anorexia is a serious thing and shouldnt be thrown around so carelessly.

    unbeleavable-although I usually eat a little over 1000, a 700 cal day is usually an entire box of strawberries, a cucumber and tomato salad with pistachios, avocado and shredded cheese (this usually keeps me full for 5+ hours since cucumbers and tomatoes are so massive) served with baked tilapia or salmon, with fresh cilantro and lemon juice, and later spinach noodles with chicken and a creamy sauce (usually made with sour cream and heavy cream), with fresh spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus mixed in too. lots of green tea and water. anyway, 700 cal is a ton of food if you cook everything and eat a lot of plants. aside from cheese I dont eat dairy (intolerant) and gluten (also intolerant) which is where I think a lot of people get that extra 1000 cal each day. theres no nutritional value to most bread and if you are maintaining at a healthy weight than obviously you dont need the extra calories just for the sake of eating calories so I know im not missing anything. in addition to the food I mentioned, I usually also have an ounce of almonds, some wine, and/or a much smaller salad of fresh mozarella, tomato, and avocado with champagne vinaigrette as a snack. its really a ton of food. i usually eat dinner while watching a movie because it takes so long to finish that much.

    anyway, just wanted to give some other perspective. there is no magical number for anyone. just like there is unhealthy undereating there is unhealthy overeating.

    gigi, if you havent recently you should go get some bloodwork done to check your thyroid, vitamin levels, etc. especially if you think you dont eat enough and change your diet dramatically.

    Charlotte I never said you were anorexic, just that eating under 1000 cals a day is eating LIKE an anorexic and CAN (not necessarily will) trigger an ED in people. I am we'll aware of the criteria to be diagnosed with anorexia or bulimia nervosa (as I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa binging purging type), and am also aware of the change in criteria that will be published when the DSM-V is released.

    I don't throw it around lightly. I do it as a warning that eating under 1000 cals a day is dangerous and should not be advised unless under medical supervision by a real doctor and/or a nutritionist.

    If you look at the links I posted or just google it yourself and look on REAL medical websites like the mayo clinic or a university you'll see what I am seeing is true and backed by medical science.

    So please don't say it is normal. It may be normal for you but it is not normal in a large percentage of the healthy population-not just in the US but in any country that is not starving (like many African countries).

    Exactly!! I've been trying to eat more especially since I've been hitting the gym. It's not like I like people asking me if I have an eating disorder all the time what are your thoughts on ensure (the drink)?

    Ensure us good for those who are malnourished or are trying to gain weight. So give it a shot. I personally prefer fresh food but that's me.

    ^There are also Ensure products that are acceptable as snacks, that are not meant to contribute to weight gain. I've used them to help manage my hypoglycemia.

    Ensure is a supplement to food & if asked I would say, take with some food to get full absorption. Liquid calories are never the same but mix with solids.

    I used FitDay for a while because I was curious too. My average was around 1800 calories/day. I'm 5'5", usually around 120lbs, small frame, early 30s. Moderately active, and I'm vegan.

    This! I eat constantly. There is plenty of vegan junk food out there (or junk food that happens to also be vegan, like most beer), but keeping my diet plant-based has been one of the best things I've ever done to maintain a healthy weight without feeling hungry/deprived.

    haha yeah i know but its such a small amount it doesnt bother me as much. i usually make a sauce like that with 1-2 tablespoons of each 2-3 times/week so its not a big deal. eating a whole bowl of ice cream or glass of milk would make me feel awful though.

    gigi, if you havent recently you should go get some bloodwork done to check your thyroid, vitamin levels, etc. especially if you think you dont eat enough and change your diet dramatically.

    I think your calorie count is *way* off! Not trying to attack you, I just don't want people to pick up on misinformation about a healthy caloric intake.

    A glass of wine has ~100 calories, and that's being generous. The amount of calories in one serving of the sauce you described would be about 100 from the heavy cream alone (2 tbsp?). Not to mention pistachios are absolutely THE most calorie-dense nut! A small handful (very small) is about 250 calories. I know this because pistachios are basically my caloric kryptonite!

    Everything you're describing is definitely healthy. I'm not going to sit here and try to calculate or anything, but I'd ballpark 1200-1600 calories from everything you described.

    700 calories really isn't a lot of food, and is about half of what you mention in you daily food menu!! I don't have a very high caloric intake, and I am trying to get better about this because I can feel lately that my body isn't at it's healthiest. This is partly because I'm supposed to be cutting out a lot of foods for a special diet my doctor has been putting me on (which, let's be honest, I follow about 50% of the time anyway), and due to the fact that I have a crazy weird work/sleep/travel schedule (home only about 3-4 nights per week). I don't prepare my food as much as I should. So I live on "healthy snacking" and the occasional health conscious restaurant/room service purchase.

    I am about to take a trip to visit my mom who is a crazy health nut, so I'm going to get back on track with proper eating/working out/no alcohol consumption! Using some of the threads on here to stay motivated.

    Oh, and to the ladies with hypothyroidism -- that's currently one of the imbalance issues I've been treating with my doctor! Have you ever considered seeing a naturopath to address the underlying causes of your hormonal imbalances?

    I have hypothyroidism and a traditional practitioner would diagnose me with "PCOS" as well. My naturopath ran blood work to confirm the hormonal imbalances she suspected from my symptoms, and also found that I have chronic candida. This has been an ongoing process, and I've been taking supplements to start eradicating the candida but was waiting until my upcoming trip to visit family to start the diet because there is a fast involved and I know it's going to put me out of work and down for the count for 5-7 days.

    If you have sugar cravings, alcohol cravings or gluten cravings I would consider looking into it! Candida is one of the hardest things to balance, because it never goes away. You should have Candida as yeast in your body, but it has the ability to convert to a harmful fungal phase, which is when it becomes an issue. Anyway, I had Strep B as a baby and was on intense antibiotics in my infancy, grew up diagnosed with colic/IBS/hypothyroidism as a teenager/recurring candidiasis and BV/etc. and never really had regular eating habits. Turns out this could be all due to a life time of fungal Candida!

    I truly believe autoimmune disorders have a correlation with our individual microbiomes and modern medicine is just slow to developing this theory! Of course my neighbor is a Pathologist and he believes the whole chronic disease/autoimmune epidemic is all due to vaccinations, so what do I know. Anyway this rant is getting super off topic. Just thought I could share my health journey and maybe help the other hypothyroid sufferers because this shit sucks!
    “The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating -- in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around like rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”

    A glass of wine has ~100 calories, and that's being generous. The amount of calories in one serving of the sauce you described would be about 100 from the heavy cream alone (2 tbsp?). Not to mention pistachios are absolutely THE most calorie-dense nut! A small handful (very small) is about 250 calories. I know this because pistachios are basically my caloric kryptonite!

    Everything you're describing is definitely healthy. I'm not going to sit here and try to calculate or anything, but I'd ballpark 1200-1600 calories from everything you described.

    700 calories really isn't a lot of food, and is about half of what you mention in you daily food menu!! I don't have a very high caloric intake, and I am trying to get better about this because I can feel lately that my body isn't at it's healthiest. This is partly because I'm supposed to be cutting out a lot of foods for a special diet my doctor has been putting me on (which, let's be honest, I follow about 50% of the time anyway), and due to the fact that I have a crazy weird work/sleep/travel schedule (home only about 3-4 nights per week). I don't prepare my food as much as I should. So I live on "healthy snacking" and the occasional health conscious restaurant/room service purchase.

    I am about to take a trip to visit my mom who is a crazy health nut, so I'm going to get back on track with proper eating/working out/no alcohol consumption! Using some of the threads on here to stay motivated.
    if youll reread my post youll realize that I said I usually eat up to 1200 cal but on the occasion that I do have a 700 cal day, it consisted of a salad, chicken dish, and fruit, to give unbeleavable an example of what 700 cal looks like for a healthy day. the wine etc is what I usually have in addition which is why im well aware I eat more than 700 cal the majority of the time.

    I never eat 250 cal of pistachios. that is way too much, especially when on top of an already big salad. I usually sprinkle 50 cal worth on top. my salads consist of whole cucumbers and tomatoes so I would throw up if I tried to eat 200 cal servings of pistachios, avocados, and cheese too.

    if you are not convinced, heres the breakdown of the chicken dish i made last night.
    4 oz chicken- 120 cal
    1 tbs heavy cream- 50 cal
    2 tbs light sour cream- 30 cal
    tofu noodles- 40 cal
    2 big handfuls each of spinach, chopped mushrooms, and asparagus- 50 cal
    of course lots of seasoning too
    total cal- 290

    it was so much food it didnt fit in my bowl. I ate about half of it. usually I make this much food for 2 but my bf wasnt hungry.
