You're not getting enough protein is likely the issue. Vegetarian and vegan it's common. Make sure to have enough variety to cover all 9 essential amino acid. Particularly leucine which is less common in plants and critical for muscle growth and maintenance. Try soybeans and pumpkin seeds. Supplement with Pea protein powder.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad i clicked on this thread!
Now I know what happened! I stopped eating chicken and that is about the time my weigh plummeted, come to think of it.
I originally ate no red meat or pork, but I still ate chicken and fish. Now I'm just down to fish.
I'm going to go buy what you suggested and see if I can get back to my 150

My thought as well, you likely need more protein in your diet. How old are ya? Some people's metabolism slows down in their 20s
I eat a Morningstar sausage patty with 3 eggs everyday for breakfast. It's a wheat based meat product. I'm not vegetarian, I just like their sausage better than the real deal. I eat about as much as I can but I'm so active I slowly lost a little fat and gained some muscle last year. I only get weighed when at the doc though so who knows
Mushrooms are high in protein too right?

I'm in my mid 40's and mine is still as it was when I was a kid for some reason.
I'm really active too, bike riding, hiking, fishing, so that is why I'm so lean too, I reckon.
I eat mushrooms, but not enough. They contain protein too, so I need to eat more 
Oh yeah, those morning star patties are good!

Huh, I'm a little surprised. I guessed you younger but I'm in my late forties and must still have a pretty good metabolism too
For real though, 1 MS sausage patty, fried in olive oil with 3 eggs is a lot of healthy energy. You'll probably slowly build muscle being active like you are

Same here. Most of my life people guessed me to be 10 years younger. It was annoying when I was 25, but not so much now
Sometimes I switch it up and make an omelette, and I forgot to mention the 2 pcs of strawberry jelly toast and glass of grapefruit juice

People still think I'm in my early 30's, which ain't bad, but yeah, when I was in my 20's people thought I was a teen, haha!
Damn! That looks freaking delicious to the maximum!!!

Not around here. All the women outweigh me by at least 100 pounds, children included. It's very sad.

Ya… 😅
I eat well and exercise, I’m not unhealthy. I’ve just always been like this. But I could stand to get some muscle back. Started eating meat years back and that helped.

That's a really rich portion.
If I ate that for breakfast, I'd be done for food for the day.

My current BMI is 25. I think it's a bunch of bunk though. 1800s napkin calculations. Why would a healthy weight across all different heights be proportional to the square of the height? It's ok as a rough indicator though

It does a pretty good job holding me over until dinner. It's easier in summer when it's hotter to not get hungry

We've had GMOs for 40 years. Thinking food is anything like nature intended anymore is naive. Do you really wanna know the amount of pharmaceuticals intended to keep death at bay for GMO-fed animals that they physically can't remove from meat after keeping them alive long enough to fatten them up with GMO-based and GMO-meat-based sludge? Compared to that, pea protein and even soy protein are tame.

I don’t know how much junk is in our food but I know it isn’t good and isn’t really tested before use

BMI is not a good indicator as it doesnt take muscle mass into account , so most lifters or well built people will have a high BMI count (regardless of how much fat they are carrying) take a photo and look at it, if you look fat you probably are.
