Mariposa, I am 5 foot 10 inches and weigh 70 KG. I fit an australian size 10 - 12. You can see by my post above what I have eaten for most of my adult life.
I think your metabolism slows down a bit after time because you are essentially not fuelling the fire every couple of hours as you should. In hindsight, I was always quite tired however my iron was very low as well. Yes, that was my typical day diet (add in a banana and a chocolate bar and a piece of toast). You would be surprised how quickly your body (and metabolism) adjusts to calorie intake. I have just been on the boy diet for two months and I couldn't bear the amount of frequency of eating protein and carbs every two hours at first but by week 4 I was literally starving every two hours...which was weird for me.

I had to add this to prove how I am such a natural LE eater...

I was talking to my sister the other day, she said a friend of hers realized she had a food addiction when she ate Reese's peanut butter cups for three days straight....I couldn't see a problem with that and I am not a food addict. I honestly think when I am eating LE I could probably do that and not feel all that bad for the first day or two...:oops:

adia you're making me hungry!!!

Sorry about the hunger vibes...I had to share that tidbit! More PROOF of why I have girls!!!

Good ideas

NEVER ate breakfast.

Lunch - Mostly it was a salad and a baked potato
(I was in High School so it was an option they had everyday that I ate 5x a week. On the weekends I never ate lunch I would eat one meal which was a giant dinner)

Dinner - Whatever my parents made for dinner. But it was always focused around meat. I would eat a crazy large portion because I didn't really ever eat much during the day so I was starving by the time dinner rolled around.

Snack - Most nights I would have a really late night snack. Either dinner leftovers or random junk around the house.

I was trying to lose a few pounds I gained from our honeymoon cruise a few months prior to conceiving dd 1.we started trying that February & of course my luck I got a UTI so I was constantly drinking cranberryjuice.I ate breakfast every morning but on my way to work so I was already starving.it was almost always carbohydrates.waffles or bagel with cream cheese cranberry juice & coffee with cream and sugar.ate lots of turkey @ lunch with mustard and those low fat mozzerella sticks.sucker for baked goods like cookies and brownies.also love berries.ate lots of strawberries & raspberries & low fat yogurt

Oh & peppermint tea almost every night

When I had my 2 daughters I was a really bad eater, never had breakfast, always snacking on crisps, biscuits, sweets, chocolate. Only proper meal I had was dinner and 9 times out of ten that was junk, and hardly any fruit/veg if any at all :/ and coke all day long. Trying to do the total opposite now.
