Answer 1

dont worry about it.that isnt nothing....eat and enjoy your self girl

Answer 2

You're already skinny if it 5'9" 132lbs. You're only 7 lbs away from being clinically underweight. You really don't need to be worrying about 950 calories, that's less than half you should eat in a day.  

Answer 3

CALORIC NEEDS

To get a rough estimate of the calories your body requires in one day to maintain your weight, assuming you are absolutely sedentary, take your body weight (or the weight you wish to acheive) and multiply it by 12.

For example, if you weigh 150 pounds then (150 * 12 = 1800) you should be eating 1800 calories to maintain that weight. However, you need to factor in daily activities into your caloric needs. Also, everyone's metabolism is different if yours is slow use 12 if its very high use 14 as the multiplier.

Answer 4

You're not overweight.  At 5'7" my "recommended" weight is 145-155.  If you're focusing too much on what you're eating, it can cause a lot of issues.  I suggest talking to your doctor, since he or she would be able to give you first-hand advice on how to eat and live a healthy life.  

Answer 5

First of all, you are thin. Second of all, who are you to question what millions of years of evolution or God's creation has given you? You evolved or were made beautiful!

Also, don't you dare listen to the above poster who said that 1200 calories a day is normal. It is absolutely not. 950 calories by two o'clock sounds just about exactly right. Have a small snack of fruit in the afternoon, a six hundred calorie dinner, and some more fruit or crackers as a snack later if you're hungry. Because you're tall, and very thin, you should definitely be eating at least 2000 calories a day, more if you exercise.  

Answer 6

just dont blow it the rest of the day, eat a veggie dinner low in carbs and fat

ps  a normal intake of calories for a day is 1200 you can eat lots of fresh veg items with out fat. check the actual counts in mushrooms cucumber peppers cabbage the like you would be surprised how low in calories they are.

  also just try harder tomorrow losing weight isnt done in a day just like gaining
