I told Cristina I might log my food too. Partly in order to make sure I’m eating enough - partly to make sure concerned parties know I am NOT anorexic. 
(I am not offended at anyone who may have been concerned - no worries!) She said she would like to see mine since I keep losing weight. So here’s what I ate yesterday - and it was a pretty typical day.
Breakfast:
1 oat muffin (I eat light first thing in the morning preparatory to my workout)
WORKOUT: 2.5 intense miles on the treadmill and a leg and ab workout. Remind me to tell you about my leg workout. The physical therapist gave me some good stuff to do!
Snack:
3 soy sausage links and a banana
Lunch:
Leftover salmon fillet mixed with chopped peppers, green onions, and some mustard. Stuffed in a whole wheat pita with tomatoes. YUM
Snacks throughout the afternoon:
80 calories of Dark Chocolate
Apple
Leftover Brussels Sprouts
Dinner:
Full plate of chicken, beef, zucchini, sprouts, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and jalapenos - seasoned with garlic oil, ginger and soy - cooked up for me at the local Chinese Buffet which, thank goodness, has a Mongolian Grill. I followed it up with some strawberries. (my in-laws are here and insisted on taking us out)
Snack:
about 40 more calories of dark chocolate.
Now I don’t know how many calories that is. But as you can see I eat!. Probably more than you do! I think the reason I keep losing is partly what I eat, partly how hard I workout, and partly “just one of those things”.
And speaking of losing…Forgive me for saying it, but I am just so excited. I know it will probably bobble back up a bit- especially with water issues due to hit, but today I saw129.8. UNDER 130. Wow wow wow. Makes me do a little happy dance - I’m just sayin’.
Thanks for posting this. You are doing fabulously! Just melting away. Looks like you are eating plenty. Keep up the good work! Now, go to my post and give me some pointers…I want to stay below 130

Wow Blest, you do eat pretty good although I guess you eat a lot of veggies…I don’t eat nearly as many.

I did go through and guesstimate my calories. I’m probably consistently running at 1600-1700. Maybe a little less. This is because, as you said Cristina, I do eat a LOT of fruits and veggies which are not calorie dense.
In another few weeks I may start slowly ramping up my calories. I’m not sure. According to the calculator, as much as I work out, I should be eating 2000 to maintain.
