Okay, I should probably know how old you are, how tall, and how much you weigh to really decide this. But I don't, so I'll make do with what I have. It really depends on your build. If you're small, then you probably won't eat a lot. But everyone is different, I have a very tall, very skinny 12 year old friend, and she doesn't eat a lot. Then I have an average height, very skinny 12 year old friend that eats a TON. Then I have a veryyy short, very skinny 14 year old friend that weighs 100 pounds. See? It just depends on the build. If what you eat, fills you up, then you are fine. But if it doesn't then you should probably eat more.

well your not *starving* your self.your just limiting your body to low in-takes of food.thats not really good for you or your body.you need to eat a good breakfast,something small for lunch,and something good for dinner.that way you wont gain a lot of weight but you wont look like youre starving yourself either.and its good that your friends are worried about you.it shows that they care.hope this helps.

Well, the average person eats 3 meals a day, especially breakfast, its the most important meal. You should try eating a breakfast, like a quick bowl of cereal and try having a sandwich for lunch, like PB&J. But if bagels and crackers are what you eat everyday and you don't get hungry thats probably just how you are..you get filled up easily. Hope i helped you

To the average person that isn't enough to eat. You are supposed to eat 3 meals a day, especially breakfest to start off the day. BUT..is that enough for you? If you don't feel hungrey all the time I wouldn't worry about it. Just try to eat like yogurt or something like that for breakfest then have a lil more then a pop tart or bagel for lunch, and eat MORE then crackers for dinner! Have like soup, fruit, cereal, or something else like that.

some people just eat til there full if thats all it takes to make your tummy happy i dont see the problem alot of people dont eat breakfast and if your comfortable with the amount you eat then explain that to your friends i know all they do is care about your safety but if you are worried about it then just eat more. eat that bagel for breakfast and a sandwich and chips for lunch a small dinner is actually advised just do what makes you happy.hope i helped!

Well if you feel that you have enough food in your body, then dont eat. just go with the flow, and next time they say something say "i know when my body needs food, and right now isnt the time." <3 ya!

well are you doing it just to loose weight? maby you just dont get that hungry anny more. i know i probly sound like a mom or something but you should make sure you are getting the vitemens and stuf you need or your hair and/or fingernails could fall out. you could also end up with a number of serious problums. if you eat when you are hungry, then no, you are not starving yourself. you should probly like, see a doctor or someone though just in case. maby a shrink could help too just in case your eating habbits are influnced by a phycalogical problum (i have no clue if i spelled that rite). well i hope i helped

If your comfortable with your body and eat when your hungry then you shouldn't be worried. There are some simple "diet" plans that can help people balance their eating habits so they get enough nutrition. You could check into that, you could also ask a trainer about eating habits or they may even have online daily meals that will give you much more energy than some crackers and pop tarts.

Well why do you eat so little?? It DOES seem like you aRe definitely undeR eating, but a lot of it has to do with youR body size. You need to eat until youR full; do you do this?? Do you eveR FEEL hungRy?? And when you do, do you EAT? I suggest you staRt getting bReakfast in theRe; it's VERY impoRtant; it gives you something to Run off of. And between lunch and dinneR, have a snack, which could be a bowl of ceReal, an ice cReam sandwich, a yoguRt and so on. And cRackeRs foR dinneR??? Do youR paRents cook??? CRackeRs aRe not an accecptable dinneR - you need WAY moRe nouRishment that a few cRackeRs can pRovide. TRy making a can of soup, oR a sandwich. I think you would know if you aRe 'staRved', but you DO need to eat moRe RegaRdless... not eating is a VERY seRious thing with EXTREMELY tRagic and teRRifying consquences. It's not woRth it - don't Risk it...

Well are you doing it on purpose? Do you think your fat? Cause then that probablys mean you are.. but if you're just not not hungry alot ( cause I'm not either trust me.. I'm the same way. Not like with bagels and crackers, but I just don't eat alot... ) then you're probably not.. cause you ARE eating ; but you should eating bigger portions of stuff. And you're not getting enough nutrition..what I would do is try eat sandwhiches too and just little amounts of dinner and stuff ; and if you are hungrier..then have some more =) and fruits and vegtables are good to eat, cause you're getting nutrition and it's still a light food at the same time =) Hope I helped!!
Love,

well you should eat a little more. Maybe something small and healthy for breakfast. Lunch maybe a sandwitch. and make sure you eat another meal for dinner. its also fine to have little snacks here and there too. But what you're doing is not eating enough.

♥You aren't starving yourself because you ARE eating. You aren't eating enough and not eating the proper nutrients. I suggest you eat more than you are now, and eat more healthy alternatives. Daily meal example:
Breakfast- Half bagel with light cream cheese, a fruit, and some canadian bacon or regular. (eat a semi big breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day)
Lunch- Sandwhich with wheat bread (or white), any type of lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, mayo, whatever you like on it. A pickle, some chips or pretzals, and a cookie.
Dinner- Grilled chicken, rice, veggie, etc.
]
Well, your not really starving yourself if your at least eating something. But you definitely dont eat alot. Maybe you should try fruit & vegetables once in a while, because if you dont eat breakfast, have a bagel for lunch, and eat crackers for dinner, you probably wont get your proper nutrients. Take Care.

Okay .. well you arent starving your self if you dont eat that much becoz your not hungry, but what you are eating sounds like you arent giving your body the nutrition that it needs even if your skinny or heavy , in shape or out of shape but you should try telling them that you are eating what fills you up or let them kno that you are okay and arent starving yourself .. i'm sry but thats all that i kno to tell you. i wish i could help more !! kaitlyn jO* =)

yes, you are almost starving yourself. just start to eat a little more, and not just snacks. Whole meals. and tell your friends not to worry and you dont mean to eat too little or whatever. BTW- eating breakfast is good for you. your friends really care for you, you should listen to them. Eat more. good luck & stay healthy!

You aren't "starving" yourself, but you are slowly killing yourself. You should be scared...please try to eat "healthier". And by that I mean you should eat like a big upsidown triangle. Breakfast is the MOST important meal. Eat a lot of it and eat less as the day goes. I promise if you eat like that you will not get fat.
When you don't eat you will eventually eat twice as much as you would usually eat because you are so hungry and you have those cravings. That's no good. And even if you didn't eat twice as much it's still a problem because you're slowly killing yourself.
Think about it. Your body NEEDS energy to function ALL day. Where does it get it? From food! So don't ever deprive your body from fuel to keep it going!

The fact that you are eating makes it so you're not starving yourself. But in my opinion you are not eating enough. Especially the fact that you skip breakfast. You should eat a good breakfast because it gives you the energy for the day.(jeez I'm sounding like my mother lol) And you should have better lunches and dinners so you will have enough energy to do things.
I hope this helped =)

You need to start eating more.All you need to do is start eating actual meals and not just snacks.

I used to do the same thing, and to me, it wasn`t starving myself..
breakfast? well a lot of people skip breakfast simply because they don`t have time for it or they sleep right through it. Breakfast just keeps the brain going and give it more knoledge for throughout the day.
you could have a slow dygestion system, which makes your body feel fuller throughout the day than what normal people`s do.. or maybe you drink a lot of water? that also causes you not to be as hungry when it comes to your meals.
either way, you are not starving yourself, unless you are purpusly trying too.. but you said yourself that your not.. so you aren`t!!
