my friends all tell me i eat way too little, and im too skinny, but when i went to my doctor, he said, im close to below average, but still average. this is an example of how i eat daily..

BREAKFAST:
a strawberry banna smoothie. which contains like..
-1 cup ice.
-i strawberry, IT WAS KINDA BIG.
-1 banana
-1 cup of ice creamm.

LUNCH:
-half of a cucumber.
-with probably like 1 tablespoon of ranch dressing.

DINNER:
oh i had alot for dinner.
-half of a cheese sandwich
-some cherries. like 4 tops?


so i mean, is that not enough? i mean i only eat whne my stomach is growling.

That is most definitely not enough. I don't know how active you are, but I am assuming you are not very active, because you will have feelings of starvation if that's all you eat. Here is an ideal meal plan:

BREAKFAST:
cereal, one glass orange juice
-kashi with some milk
pancakes, one glass orange juice/milk
waffles, one glass orange juice/milk
strawberry banana smoothie
-1/2 cup ice
-5-8 large strawberries
-1 banana
-1/2 cup milk

SNACK:
half a bagel/peice of toast/muffin
1 glass of milk

LUNCH:
soup/sandwhich/salad
1 glass of water

SNACK:
apple/cucumber/etc

DINNER:
each dinner should include
-meat/fish/chicken
-salad
-rice/mashed potatoes/etc
1 glass of water

DESERT:
fruit/cake/ice cream/etc
cup of tea/glass of milk/water


This could be a guide to your meal plan. Eating only when your stomach growls is unhealthy. When your stomach growls it means that you are very hungry, not just a little hungry. Eating small portions throughout the day is a lot healthier, and it won't make you feel as if you are hungry, and it won't make you feel as if you are uncomfortably full.

Because you eat so little, it may take some time to make such quick adjustments. Start out with very small portions, but do eat all the meals and snacks. Slowly increase your portions every three to four days, and you should be on your way to a healthy eating lifestyle.
