I never feel like i do enough exercise and feel incredibly guilty for eating when i'm not hungry. I tend to eat alot in the evenings because i find i have alot of spare cals, is it bad to say have a bag of popcorn/ some carrots and hummus etc.. after the gym even if im not hungry?
I think i eat ok for my height and weight :
height- 5 foot 6
weight - around 7 stone/ 98-100lbs varies
Female
I typically do 1-2 gym classess a day + walking etc.. for example this week:
monday- 80 mins waling, 10 mins running, 1 hour body combat
tuesday- 80 mins walking, 20 mins biking, 45 minutes weight training
wednesday- i have a race but would normally do a weights class for an hour
thursday- ballet ( would typically do walking and/or yoga in the morning )
friday- 1 hour circuits + 20 mins walking, 10 mins running + gym time + walking the dog etc...

No you are not eating enough. I am sure your doctor will tell you the same thing.0

you said you have been feeling light headed and having sugar binge cravings.
That is a pretty good sign that you aren't eating enough.
Also, has your weight increased? If not, then it is pretty clear that you aren't eating enough.0 -
Your macros are set to approximately 2,000 daily and just at a peek you are consuming 900-1100 calories without exercise calories figured in! (That's the problem and insane). You are lucky you haven't passed out.0

I would suggest speaking to a doctor and maybe a specialist, as your post suggests you may have an ED or be headed that way. Also, you are underweight and working out rather a lot under the circumstances and considering your food intake.0

You're 5'6 and weigh 100 pounds?
Sounds like an ED to me.0 -
For the amount of activity you typically do throughout the day, I would definitely think you should be eating more. Maybe try snacking on a lot of fruit to help those sugar cravings and get more calories in. Try talking to your doctor or a dietitian, since they can really help you figure things out.0

5 foot 6" tall, weighing 100lbs - underweight by at least 15lbs.
Forget about not eating or feeling guilty when you do eat, you have a problem with eating, you really need to see a doctor.0 -
you have an eating disorder0
