My son and I both get nauseated in the a.m. so we both try to at least drink a protein shake within an hour of waking up if we can't stomach anything, then we eat a "breakfast" at about 10:00 a.m. We just can't do food early in the a.m. You need to eat more, as you are aware, but try small meals then, 4-6 a day, just smaller type things. Healthy is eating right and exercise, are you exercising? If you are only eating once a day, I can't imagine you have much energy for exercise....there are some great recipes for protein bars here on FT, too, if that helps you out through the day, watch the ones you buy at the store, though, so many are filled with sugars. Take it a bit slow, don't try to do it all at once, just start adding things to your day, beef jerky is a good thing you can carry around, too, high in protein. Sit down and write what makes you NOT eat, keep a journal....if you possibly have a disorder, you need to talk to someone about it so that you can sort out what is going on that may be contributing to your feelings of not being hungry...I was in your shoes, 19, 96 pounds, 5'7" once so I can relate -- I was borderline anorexia, for quite a while even taking laxitives and throwing up if I did eat more than once a day, but then when I started to finally eat more, I binge ate and then purged and that messed me up for many years to come and the binging still nails me time to time. I am not saying you are doing any of that, I just remember having a harder time from 16-20 with eating habits and wish I had a group like FT to come to for support. Don't want to see you go through the metabolism roller coaster I got on, so it is best to nip this as soon as you can, just take small steps each day toward a healthy future! Good luck to you!
