At: 144 pounds is good for your size and age

This weight is thin: but wouldn't be classified as anorexic. Your ideal weight depends upon your gender, age, bone mass and genetics (speed of metabolism). Your anxiety is probably causing you to burn more calories than you want, so work on that with a therapist. Why are you on a high fiber diet? I would think a little good fat might help, unless you have other medical concerns.
