I'm male, 19, 6'2" tall, and weight about 135 lbs. I know that my BMI is on the low side, and people tell me all the time that I look skinny, and I agree with them that I look skinny, but how do I stop worrying about everything that I eat??? I constantly feel like there will be consequences to every food that I consume, but I wouldn't really mind gaining a little bit of weight anyways.
Much of the time, I actually force myself to eat enough calories in a day to get up to 2000 that I need to survive! I don't want to screw up my metabolism, and I don't want to be anorexic, but I still can't help but evaluate all the foods I eat and decide what or what not to eat. I still hesitate whether or not to eat Ben & Jerry's, which has about 300 calories per half cup, when I could just have some cottage cheese with Equal in it for 70 calories per half cup (and 14 grams protein).
Does anyone know how to live and eat worry-free, or know what I'm going through?
