While most comments are not malicious, in general, it is best to avoid some of them. Here are some phrases you should never say to the people you're having dinner with:
"I would never eat ___."
Pointing out how you avoid eating whatever is on someone's plate, for whatever reason, can make them feel bad. Especially if you make statements like 'I could never eat foods with so much sugar'.
"You're not going to eat them all, are you?"
Statements like this can make someone feel judged for their eating choices.
"You are eating well/badly today."
Avoid labeling foods as "good" or "bad" or "healthy" or "unhealthy." "
Are you on a diet?"
"Never comment on how food will affect someone's body," like weight gain or loss, On the other hand, avoid talking negatively about your appearance in relation to what you eat in front of others.
"You look healthy."
That might sound like a compliment, but Baker said it can be misinterpreted by someone with an eating disorder to mean they've gained weight.
