Skinny vegetarians

It doesn't matter.

I have had times in which I eated once in two days over months; then times I have all the meals. Never under 58kg and never under 62kg.
Yes, I'm a lucky motherfucker.

I have lost weight since i switched from lacto-ovo-vegetarism to strict veganism. Though, it's hard to tell is it simply because change in diet or because I also run a lot. But I believe the diet has had a part in it, since having a slice or two of cheese on your bread, cooking with eggs etc can add up to lot of calories at the end of the day.
I loved cheese, so I think replacing it with vegetables has had an impact on my weight.
Cheese is rich in fat and therefore rich in calories.
No fruit or vegetable can replace those huge amounts of fat but acutally they don't need to be recplaced. Too much fat is pretty bad for your heart circulation system and pancreas, too less fat is pretty bad for your whole body.
Keep an eye on nuts and oils (especially those rich in Omega-3 fatty acids) and on fruits rich in fructose ('cause our bodies can easily transform that into fat and carb depots).

Eat some oat flakes with orange juice or a muesli and a banana an hour before you go running, this way your carbohydrate depots won't be needed as much for energy production as usual.

Or... don't change a thing if you're not feeling toooo lightweight 'cause your body might has reached its natural weight without those cheese fats.

I've always been skinny, as is everyone on my mother's side of my family. Since I switched to a veggie diet I've put on (a little) weight for the first time in my life, which I put down to better food and a far more varied diet. I'm also eating more just because I'm getting more enjoyment from food and cooking in general.

I've been vegan for two and a half years and I'm quite chubby. Technically obese if you go by bmi, but only by five pounds (also bmi is shit). I lost forty pounds when I went vegan, but that was mostly because I had no idea what I was doing and starvation > exploiting animals any longer. I haven't put the weight back on though, which is slightly weird when I think about it.

I think it's weird that veg people would be skinnier, as what you eat is one of many factors determining your weight/size.

I'M A TOTAL FAT TWAT! Being vegan/veggie doesn't mean you're healthy. But then again, being big doesn't mean you're unhealthy. If you exercise enough, it shouldn't matter really. YEAH, I SHOULD TOTALLY GET ON THAT

Fat vegans are fat because they eat more per day than the necessary to provide them the energy that they usually consume in their normal activities, not necessarily because they eat "wrong", as we can read in a lot of answers here (unless you define "eat a lot" as "eat wrong", and then I would have to agree... laugh). Oh, yes: I eat a lot and I'm fat.

It's very easy to become overweight when you eat a lot of bread. As a vegetarian/vegan that was never very fond of vegetables, this was a big problem for me. Haha. I've now limited my bread consumption and lost about 25 lbs

I'm vegan and I'm 564 kilo.

And how many calories of them in the nuts...

Most people these days eat meat and are thin (at least in my country). But I am not skinny at all :D I like to eat a lot, I just don't eat meat
