Hello. I have been having a hard time eating lately. I would like to know what kind of basic nutritional things I should be making sure I eat. Basically, what should I be eating just for proper sustenance/nutrition?

What I usually eat is a smoothie (banana, frozen fruit, green powder, almond milk) when I wake up. Sometimes it takes me 4-5 hours to finish it, but I do enjoy it. Then dinner usually involves chicken or fish with a veg and starch. Then I snack for the rest of the night (obviously I take this as a sign I should eat more during the day, just don’t know how to) on chips and trail mix and maybe a little dessert.

Any tips on eating more nutritionally dense and healthy throughout the day?

Is it alright to eat just 1 big meal per day?

I’m a uni student 19F and I’m 5ft and 100lb/ 45kg.Is it possible to get all the required calories and nutrition in just one meal?

I don’t get hungry in the mornings so I eat around 3pm. And because I eat later on, I’m not hungry at dinner time. I do have a few snacks throughout the day like fruit or a couple of biscuits.

I don’t want to lose/ gain weight. Is this habit ok to continue with?

Hi!

I created a meal plan that I am going to follow everyday, and I just wanted a second pair of eyes on it to make sure I wasn’t missing a key vitamin, micronutrient, etc. Any opinions, worries, and thoughts are also welcome to! Low calorie and vegan is intentional.

I have compiled the plan in Chronometer and screen grabbed the data for you: https://imgur.com/a/xaOe7S3

Thank you in advance!

Hi Everyone,
I’m trying to figure out what the part in bold means:
“The ideal is 45–50 percent of daily calories from a blend of healthy monounsaturated, saturated, omega-3, and omega-6 fats; 15–20 percent of daily calories from clean protein: organic and pasture-raised meat, as well as eggs, nuts and seeds; and 30–35 percent of daily calories from unexpected carbs: green, cruciferous (broccoli, cauliflower) and colorful vegetables and low-sugar fruits.”
Any ideas what they mean by that?

How many Calories is considered dangerous when going on a diet? I want to eat less and I know I can do it but I dont want my metabolism to stop working. I had 1000 calories today and I did some exercise and burned 800 calories. And I heard that we burn about 75 calories an hour doing nothing. So 1800 calories burned from sitting.

So 2600 calories burned. Is that dangerous? I more than doubled the calories burned than I gained
