Her response to a similar post:  My average amount of calorie intake should be around 1000. This can be very difficult to maintain. Right now I am overweight, but my neurologist says that since I'm healthy, and don't overeat often, it's not always a bad thing for my disability. I find it more difficult to completely change to a perfect diet, since I love food. Your question is not ignorant! It's very reasonable! Thank you for asking!  edit: Did you mean this post?
