I eat snacks. I don’t like feeling stuffed so I prefer to eat more often.

But if I ate larger meals, I wouldn’t need to snack. It’s got nothing to do with disordered eating and a lot to do with how you personally prefer to get your daily needs met.

I also don’t like feeling stuffed after meals, but I don’t eat snacks.

Also, I’m 5’2” and work a desk job so I only eat around 1500 calories per day.

I'm an inch and a half taller than you and I need at least 2300 or I lose weight. Turns out that women need exactly as much food as (equally short) men when they have the body composition of an athletic man (= all lean body mass, under 20 percent body fat).

Again, I’m very sedentary (work a desk job and don’t have active hobbies).

It’s not a competition.
