    Wow. I didn't know people here would be so judgemental. Just because a calculator gives a number, then surely that must be correct?

    It's not really about the number a calculator gives anyone. I can't imagine anyone would be healthy at 91 lbs being 5'2". Just because it's what you've always weighed, doesn't mean it's overweight. It means your goal might need to be increasing calories, rather than decreasing.

    I would suggest making a few small changes. Try more nutrient dense snacks; instead of crisps and cake every day, try nuts, dried or fresh fruit, hummus and crackers, protein bars, and dark chocolate (70%+ which is high in iron). You may find that your blood sugar levels are more stable throughout the day.

    I try to think of ways to increase the nutrient and protein content of all of my meals. It's amazing how refocusing your goals in such a way can really decrease the anxiety about making a switch to healthier eating habits (or decreasing caloric intake).
