is this enough

Question
hi
i only eat one meal a day and its at nine at night...i always have at least 4 to six vegies and a peice of meat at tea time,,,but i dont eat anything of a day except a banana...i drink water
every second night i will have desert with my tea
my hubby says i dont eat enough because i dont have breakfast or lunch but honestly im never hungry then..im 50 year old and i walk for 2 hours a day
allmy blood work is normal except imjust down on iron only by one percent
when i do force myself to eat of a day i start gagging and food does not sit in my tummy comfortably ...lately my legs have been aching and feeling weak but i think its because we shifted to a new area that is very hilly and i walk it every night
my diet consists of pumpkin potato cauliflour broccali peas onions..carrots  spinnach and meat..
sometimes a slice of bread
im only a thin..build.
thank you
helen

Answer
Hi Helen,

I am unsure what your question is. I do not know how long you have been eating in such way. We all have different metabolisms and from the information you have provided, you must be seeing a doctor on a regular occasion, so I have to conclude that you are healthy and are not malnourished. Although your habits may seem strange, as long as you are getting enough calories on a daily basis, I can see nothing wrong about your diet, well, except that you might find yourself low on blood sugar during the day which could lead to the development of diabetes. I always suggest that everyone take a multivatamin on a daily basis. I also suggest that you bring up this matter the next time you visit your doctor.

Good luck,
