Opinions on 3 issues

[Guest guest]

Can I have your opinions on some things?

I like to eat 2 large meals a day, instead of 3 meals with snacks.

What are your opinions on this? I find it easier to 'get it over

with' with my eating rather than taking out time out of my day,

throughout the entire day, just to eat! I've read a lot of

contradictory evidence about eating spaced out meals and whether or

not it is better to eat the 3 + snacks, I have my own opinions but

I'd like to know what yours are.

Secondly, I get all my necessary nutrition (protein, fat, calcium,

fiber, etc) but don't eat as many carbs as is proportionally

recommended. I really don't know what to think when it comes to

studies on carbs and insulin and glucose, etc. I get all my fiber

and then some, avoid all unnecessary sugar, and the carbs I do eat

are all healthy (whole wheat bread, unsweetened oatmeal, whole grain

rice); do you think it's a big deal or not?

Lastly I have a question about 'starvation mode.' Over and over

again I keep reading that anything below 1200 calories a day for a

human is basically a starvation diet. But, I am as small as they

get, and my bmr is 1200, the minimum. Would it be safe to go below

this number if I can get all the necessary nutrients at a lower

level? Because if I can't, the best I could do is only 20- 25%

restriction and I'd like to do a little more, but obviously don't

want to put my body in danger. So basically is my low bmr a setback

to partaking in restriction, or is it a flexible guideline?

Please and thank you to all who read and take the time to give me

your thoughts on this.
