Oh cmon. I think even if you asked for workout tips(the only way I can imagine these comments being appropriate) and saying your diet isn't satisfying, they should express acceptance and encouragement to embrace how you are already, and just try to tell you how to feel better. And that's if you're actually preparing to accomplish a physical feat in the future(like hiking or walking/running further with less breaks), already in mid-exercise(by expressing you're already doing great and to keep it up), among other scenarios that I can't think of rn.
But on their own, these comments don't seem okay to be telling most thin people.
