How to Tell If You Aren't Eating Enough

If you feel like you’re barely eating but still not losing weight, not building muscle, or constantly feeling exhausted—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Realistically Consistent, we’re talking about how to tell if you aren’t eating enough, why chronic under-eating can slow your metabolism, and how eating more (strategically) may actually help you lose fat, improve energy, and feel better in your body.

This is especially important if you:

• Skip meals but still struggle with fat loss
• Lift weights but aren’t seeing muscle tone or strength gains
• Feel tired, moody, bloated, or stuck despite “doing everything right”
• Are stuck in the cycle of eat less → move more → burnout

In this episode, we cover:

• Signs you may be under-eating without realizing it
• How under-fueling puts your body into survival mode
• Why “move more, eat less” backfires (especially for women)
• How protein, carbs, fats, and fiber support metabolism and hormones
• Why lifting weights without enough protein stalls progress
• How alcohol impacts metabolism as we age
• Simple, realistic ways to increase protein without overwhelm

This episode is not about perfection or extremes—it’s about learning how to fuel your body so it can actually work withyou, not against you.
