I won't disclose my weight and height. But my BMI which is calculated by my age, sex, weight and height. I won't make a poll obsession about BMI can be way too toxic. I was very obese as a teenager and was bullied a lot for it.
My goal was the perfect BMI and I read the perfect one was 21,8. And my BMI for a pretty long time was exactly that. By the way I look very skinny and many people tell me that. Probably it depends on the individual how such a BMI actually looks like.
College triggers the shit out of me this semester. So badly that is screws my hunger. During holidays it was less severe. But I still lost some weight. It went from 21.5 to 20,8 (BMI). I did not expect that much of a change. My friends said they did not notice any changes. As skinny as always. I eat some chocolate because my hunger is still that not that much. I am scared not being able to control me anymore and start eating like a teenager again. But I think that is unrealistic. I am kind of scared this spirals down.
My fear of being obese is way bigger than my fear of underweight. Still I don't like underweight. In my opinion it does not look good. So I will take some anti-measures if it comes to that.
Ok I'm going to blow your mind on this stuff because it's all government backed and absolute nonsense.
BMI is NOT a good way to analyse things. When I did my personal training/medical course we had a female footballer. She was smaller in height but because she had a lot of muscle mass guess what the BMI stated her as? Obese….
Im OCD but it just depends what you want to do. Your frame only matter for the shoulder width, hips and height. If you want to lose weight you just need to eat less processed foods, eat less (calories but not STARVE) and just exercise a bit more - a 10 minute walk is sufficient. Obviously if you want to go a bit more you could do a workout routine 3 times a week for about 10 minutes. It will be beneficial and do something.
The UK government said eat 5 fruits and/or veg a day which is also nonsense becuase it depends on each person. It's like saying everyone who is depressed just needs anti depressants; problem fixed! You need to eat protein, carbs (yes carbs they aren't the devil - without them your cells cannot be building blocks) and fats. Struggle with meat/fish? Use peanut butter instead, want to eat someone a bit healthier than pasta/rice - try lentils.
There's just too much propaganda going around. It's either everyone is completely unhealthy and going to die OR you need to be some super person and 2% body fat lol. I went from very good physical shape and size (because of golf) to now where I'm definitely underweight and lost a lot of muscle - depressed, bed rotting, no exercise, etc. it takes about 3 months to get back to your "base" level of fitness.

Just to add - so you are similar to me. I'm extomorh body type and I'm 6foot 2. I have broader shoulders but yes at school bean pole skinny. I tried eating 4000 calories a day at one point and it was working slowly but I got miserable of food and nearly stopped eating.
With the golf (in my late 20s) the golf and walking the course was the exercise (swinging a club at 110+ mph is burst energy) and walking the course (about 6 miles) is the cardio. Any extra gym work meant I had to add on calories so I didn't go into a deficit. Otherwise my body will use my muscles and break them down as a "food source" for the energy. Unprocessed flapjack bars were about 300/400 calories (big ones) so they kept my levels above the deficit level.
