Answer 1

It's difficult to say if you're eating enough because that depends on how much you're eating, not so much on what you're eating. It's good to see that you're eating five meals per day. You should eat approximately 12 times your weight in lbs in calories per day, plus what you burn by exercising. For you, that should be roughly 2000 calories. (Exercise burns surprisingly little . . . an hour of fairly vigorous exercise will burn no more than about 500 calories for most people.) I guess the thing to watch out for would be weight loss or weight gain. If you start gaining weight make a slight adjustment in your diet. If you start losing weight, eat slightly more or exercise slightly less. 130 lbs sounds OK for a girl 5'4" tall though. Your BMI is about 22, which is normal. Good night!

Answer 2

I think you are completely fine, not fat not skinny, in the right weight, you should eat a little bit more on breakfast since is the most important meal of the day, at the second snack i would cut 1 salata? and at dinner i think it's fine, you are eating fine, like a normal person, i used to eat a lot and gain like 10-20 pounds i am now like 145-150 and 5'6 i was 133, if you feel fine with how you are eating and you don't feel dizzy or things like that, then it's fine just add a little in the lunch like a portion of beans

Answer 3

you're eating GREAT! sounds very healthy. you eat 3 square meals a day and snacks in between. dont worry about what she says. maybe shes afraid that you're eating healthy and excersising is because of some selfconcious issue. but you're dong great ! =]
