Do people ever criticize the way you choose to eat?

you're trying to lose weight and you're going to eat that?
yes, i ran 13 miles for fun today. i will demolish the vending machine bag of chips. and many other things
Yep,
Them: "How are supposed to lose weight eating that?"
Me: "I make room in my calorie budget"
Them: "Ohh, that works?!?!? How did you do that?"
Me: "I ran 5 miles this morning, and I'm going to my hard workout this evening"
Them: "Oh" with a look of defeat10 -
Not to my face. I’d shred them. It’s no one’s business but mine what I eat.6

Yes. It seems that whatever job I have had, my coworkers chime in on how bad diet pop is and that it makes people fat. I have been drinking it for ages and won't give it up.3

Just sounds like the person was uneducated to me and ignorant on how weight loss works. Idk why ppl automatically get on defence mode or think people are trying to battle them when they are simply asking questions.4 -
Not and live.

Not really.
I eat pretty normally and eat most of my meals at home.
My dd sometimes dislikes food I make but she is not criticizing me eating it.

My boss comments on anything I eat.
One time I had a sandwich with alfalfa sprouts, and she said it was like eating pubic hair.

The thing, I really do 5 mile runs in the morning and an extra workout in the evenings, that way I can eat the high calorie foods. IDK why people assume that I'm being defensive, when I'm being honest.9 -

Wow the judgypants are back. Thats ridiculous. Nothing to do with them. It's YOUR body.6 -
I wouldn’t say criticize. But I do get heckled a bit for being vegan (technically WFPB).4

Yes on occasion.
Eat a salad- "you need protein"
Eat leftovers or small portions at work for lunch- "why can't you afford to buy lunch"
Eat a pint of Halo Top or fast food "you have no will power/ self control"
Eat fruit as an office snack instead of Pop Tarts (the new office snack is Pop Tarts) "you're making us look bad"10 -
Very infrequently in real life. I'll occasionally get an eye roll when I won't eat something that I know is not safe for a celiac to eat but not from people I care about or who care about me. They can see but my obvious health improvements and weight management that what I am doing is healthy for me. (I'm a celiac who eats almost as a carnivore to deal with insulin resistance, arthritis, and autoimmune issues.)
On MFP it is a WHOLE different situation. I've never been on another board where people feel the urge to tell you that you are wrong, and not even that they just "think" you are wrong, so freely. I'm sure part of it is because the board is food and diet focused and that is just a part of the rest of my life. But it really is incredibly different from my everyday life.16 -
Not that I can remember. It wouldn't matter to me if they did. I'd just nod and blink in that way you do when someone is saying something that really doesn't interest you but you don't want to be rude.2
