Is 1500 a day normal at 180lbs?

I'm finding more and more than I have less appetite than I did when I was younger. I'm in my late 20s.

My activity level is basically about an hour of strenuous (though not earth shattering) exercise around 5 to 6 times a week. I walk everywhere. I think I'm about 180lbs (and 6'4 and a half), but I might have lost some weight.

Does anyone else find their appetite waning a little? I eat extremely well, I love french food so it's not that I deprive myself. I just find that I'm happy with fairly small portion sizes now and don't mind eating things high in fat in small doses in lieu of larger portions.

A breakfast usually consists of either fruit, toast with almond butter, or about 3 times a week I'll make a couple of eggs.

Lunch, since I'm pretty busy, is almost always a spinach salad with olive oil and vinegar, and a bunch of cherry tomatoes. I will usually eat it with a sliced chicken breast, or a sliced duck breast about twice a week.

Dinner is always more extravagant, I eat out a whole lot and that is where most of my calories come from. That probably isn't very smart, I know. I almost never eat before bed, in fact never 3-4 hours before bed.

I had a physical last week and everything was ok. I don't feel that this is a dramatically lower appetite, but I don't think most days I'm getting over 1500-2000 calories and I'm wondering if this is normal.

Well between breakfast and lunch I eat as little as 400-500 calories. Dinner is high calorie, small portion. I remember many years ago I was on a diet of 2200 calories following a surgery that left me unable to move very much for 8 months, and I feel like I am eating less in volume and less in calories than that. Breakfast I'm eating a slice of toast and some almond butter, or occasionally 2 eggs. That isn't too much although I feel satisfied. Lunch is just vegetables with a bit of protein. Half a large chicken breast, sometimes a duck breast. Maybe a teaspoon of very good olive oil. In terms of what I drink... I drink water mostly... quite a bit in fact. Up to 100oz of it if I'm quite active. I tend to drink one or two Vitamin Waters a day (the 10 calorie kind). That's like 50 calories.

Well you're ripped so I don't see a problem with eating like that, but why any human would ever want to consume that much food is beyond me. But as I say, you're quite healthy and need to feed your size, but you're in the minority of people who eat that much and aren't fat fucks.

No, I just know that sometimes loss of appetite is a sign of illness. I feel absolutely fine but I do remember eating far more in my youth.

Sweet. Maybe I'll add 6oz of pork belly to my salads.
