No, it's not normal or healthy. Besides, eating so little can even make her lose weight very slowly because she's basically slowly starving herself, and her body wil try to hold onto its fat.
She should eat healthy things like oats, fruit, nuts and vegetables, it's true. But she needs to add some more lean protein like fish or chicken, and eat larger portions, because, eating as she is, she will get deficiencies and likely have issues with low blood sugar (which would explain her frustration and tiredness).
Having a healthy weight isn't about starving. It's about making changes in the diet that one can maintain for the rest of their life. That means having realistic portions and healthy meals, and even leaving room for the occasional junkfood.
I lost 15 pounds since winter by doing this, and while it was a slower process of weightloss, it worked because I wasn't holding myself to unhealthy or impossible standards. Your sister needs to understand that her diet is extremely unhealthy, and if she has hip problems, such a low calcium diet as this could only make them worse.
Is it normal for my sister too eat this little?
