I wouldn't change my diet with a BMI of 23 - no way.
I would just be supportive of her diet journey as I am sure you already are.
May the force be with her.

Yeah, but it's not fair to be eating Tempura chicken and fries with a Scotch Bonnet dipping sauce while she is chewing her way through through a stick of celery ...

I feel her pain, I'm dieting and exercising a lot and managed to get from a BMI of 33 to 31 in three months, including a long month without exercise due to bronchitis and a surgery.

That's good going! 
I went from 24 to 21 in three weeks - but I wouldn't recommend it: I caught Covid.

Effective, but not recommended!

I'm with you on that, OG! I lost 32 pounds in 9 days a few years ago. Surgery can do that, though it was the inedible food, not the surgery, that caused it. Not recommended.

I will buy your BMI. Will pay any sum. Just name your price!

So, true. I think most of us would start robbing banks to buy that BMI, I know I would.

I wouldn't... BMI is an average that doesn't account for above average muscle mass at all. Body fat percentage is a much better metric to judge against if you want to get fit. It just takes a teeny bit more work to figure out so people never do it.
If you don't want to be fit and just skinny, then by all means use BMI.

I'm not physically fit and I don't have above average muscle mass.
BMI is just fine for me.
Let's keep it real.

I am keeping it real. Don't be one of those types on CP that gets all sensitive any time someone presents new info. We're supposed to be adults, even though everyone knows programmers are some of the most immature folks around.
BMI sucks. Just spend 5 mins Googling it to see what I mean.

How about trying to be healthy?
Did you really think BMI makes you "fit"? Fit for what? COVID?
Your immune system requires energy. Meaning calories, like fat. That is healthy, not your BMI nonsense.

Go away Eddy... I will not let you insult or demean me when you can't even be bothered to read my posts. Go argue with someone else foolish enough to "engage".

I did read all that dribble. I did, really.
Food isn't just "fuel", and fat people can die without food.
Every post that is wrong on the topic, you'll get a response from me to explain just how wrong you are. That's a promise

You did not. If you did, you skimmed at best. Since we both know there's no "winning" with your type... just go away bro.

I remember once, in the gym, many years ago... a heavyset fellow watched me lose a lot of weight. He literally came to me with a heartfelt plea about helping him lose weight and asked me how I did it. I told him the truth, "change your diet and exercise." At that moment he snapped out of his trance and immediately said "oh, I can't do that" and walked away.
The point is, everyone knows how to lose weight. Nobody wants to change their lifestyle however. It's not rocket science.

For a summer job during my college years (late 70's) I worked in a drug store warehouse - on my feet bopping around all day. I would eat 4 to 6 sandwiches during the 1/2 hour lunch. No matter what I ate I stayed under 170 pounds -- I'm 6' 4". (The ladies who worked there would just give me the death stare as I ate as fast as I could before the bell rang.)
Those days are long long gone - now if I ate like that I would be mistaken for an inflatable beach ball and I've been struggling for a few years to keep my weight under 200. This year's Christmas cookies and eggnog did NOT help. Celery and carrots are a lousy substitute for real food.
