I think the reason she stopped doing what I eat in a day videos is because of comments like this, I think she mentioned in a few videos how horrible it is for people to assume that she has an eating disorder when she doesn't. (btw this isn't meant as an attack on your comment personally, this is just a general comment)
I think it must be difficult for her as someone who (I assume) has always had a good relationship with food to see people who are in recovery watching your videos and copying you, it probably isn't something she could have imagined happening

I think so too. I also reckon people don’t realise how tall she is because her parents/siblings are also fairly tall so on video they just look “normal” height if that makes sense. It’s only when she used to do collabs with Taz or others who are more average height that you could tell how tall Grace is.

Grace is pretty tall, she can carry more weight for a healthy BMI.
There was a tv show a while back, something liked "secrets of the superkinny", and it did tests that showed a lot of thinner people do incidental movement and burn ALOT of calories throughout the day-fidgeting, cleaning, gardening. She quite often says she goes on walks with friends and always seems to be on the move.
There's this thing called your basal metabolic rate, which takes in to account your height, gender and age (she's tall and young) and this is the number of calories your body needs to just exist. There's also TDEE, which is Total Daily Energy Expenditure. If you're moving around a lot, or even just standing up a lot (like standing in a kitchen baking), your expenditure is greater.
She seems to eat a lot of snacks and sweets, but her meals don't seem that big. Andsome of her snacks arelow calorie- quavers, popcorn.
I think it looks more than it is because she showed a whole packet of bagels, two different jars of chocolate spread, several boxes of biscuits and packets of cookie dough, a load of cookies she made for her tiktok, a whole load of donuts, dinner for her whole family, a big bar of chocolate,big bowl of popcorn

I totally agree, me and my sister have totally different weights, and my sister has alwayssss been a someone who just fidgets all the time, it really does make a difference imo

She seems to be pretty active, and also I think she tends to try a lot of snacks and new food in her videos but her meals always look well balanced and I have seen in previous videos that she eats a lot of fruit and veg as well. I guess that’s just not as interesting in a video. I think as well that although she’s tall and slim she has a healthy appearance, she doesn’t look overly gaunt in the face or have puffiness and she doesn’t have a grey sickly look about her. I just think she got lucky with her metabolism! Also I think as well that she seems to have done a good job of avoiding a lot of diet culture and food shame which is probably why her metabolism is good, pretty sure slimming world completed effed mine up!

I think Grackle is quite active, she regularly posts insta stories of her dancing around, she walks every day. I don't see any evidence of an eating disorder, in fact she seems to have a rather ordinary relationship with food. The meals she eats with her family look to be quite balanced, however, she does seem to eat a lot of sugar, I recall her mum lightly telling her off for her sugar consumption. Having said that, I don't actually think she eats a lot, her snacks usually seem small. Grackle is slim but she is tall and this seems very inkeeping with the rest of her family. I'm not actually comfortable with anyone suspecting someone of having an eating disorder from a watching YouTube videos, seems very intrusive and may be projection from the viewer. Maybe, if people find watching Grackle's videos gives them concerns about disordered eating they shouldn't be watching them, we have a duty to ourselves to protect our mental health

A reminder for all those who struggle with the topic of food and exercise. Be kind to yourself and remember that Grace’s lifestyle isn’t right or wrong, she’s merely documenting what works for her. If a takeaway is all you can muster up the strength to eat, that is fine. If you can’t be bothered to leave the house today, that is fine. Look after yourself and don’t pressure yourself to watch her food content if it’s triggering. If you’re suffering with an ED, please seek professional help and don’t use people on YouTube as an indicator of how you should be living

I am recovering and i have had hard time in the past with her videos. But remember, different bodies, different paths

I watched the original & didn't notice anything but she got food delivered so maybe her address?
Also watched the original and didn’t see a thing

I watched the original and don't remember seeing anything, but there was a part where she was opening her dominoes order and I think she had the lid in shot - probably her address was visible on it?

I watched it before and after and I’m not sure, I felt like she talked more about the man in the front of her in the drive thru that she knew in the original one but I’m not confident enough to say for definite, maybe she let a place name slip or something and I don’t pick up on it?
