Is it ok that I only eat one or two small meals a day?

[Anonymous]

I'm just never that hungry. And I'm really self concious about how much i weigh, and i want to be thinner so bad, so i eat less than most people do. I don't flat out starve myself, because i make sure that i eat at least once a day.

And plus, i really hate the feeling i get after i eat. Even though its a small meal, i feel full and i feel really fat and gross, and it makes my stomach look bigger than it usually is.

Are my eating habits ok? I know they aren't normal, but am i at any SERIOUS health risks?

You are at serious health risks

There are some minor risks, but nothing to be alarmed about

Its not normal, but your completely fine

It's one thing to not eat a lot because you're full after small meals. It's another thing to restrict your caloric intake to lose weight. Eating small portions throughout the day is better for your metabolism anyways, so try that. Eat foods that are filling and drink lots of water if you don't want to risk overeating.

Truth is the less you eat (if you're hungry and not satisfied) your stomach will eat itself and store fat, usually I know if you eat more often your metabolism speeds up! Then you end up actually burning more
I don't think you're at SERIOUS health risks but you're not getting all the nutrients you should get xx

Yeah... people say that, but not too long ago i starved myself for a week, and then lost 60lbs over the course of 4 months.

So i know that if i don't eat as much i will get thinner.

The only risk is that if u don't take in enough cals, it can cause health problems.

You'll be fine as long as you're functioning well in day-to-day life.

I am functioning well. It just seems like i don't need that much food, ya know?

[Prof_Don]

Then in that case you're just fine, nothing to worry about.

You sound like you have a serious eating disorder. Seek help.

[GrooveSick]

You should eat more.
And exercise, turn the fat into muscle
