I am the sort that let's things roll off easily. I have worked in many places where it was important to smile off profanity but one of my roommates really said something that upset me.
I am sort of thin 5 foot 11 and 170 lbs and he is about the same height and about 50 pounds more then me.
He started going on about how thin I am. He said I need to see a doctor because I don't feel right after a big steak. He kept going on about how I eat too many vegetables, fruits, bran etc.
He then made a steak burrito and told me I should eat it because I am too thin. Then made a pizza and said I should eat the rest because two pieces was enough for him and that I needed it.
It bothers me because the last year I went to many doctors and had many tests because of some GERD symptoms last year. They told me I better change my eating habits and I radically went from one of the worst diets with no fruits and veggies for 6 months prior to my health symptoms to exclusively healthy food with only the occasionally large pastry.
I then started to worry about my health because there is no way I could ever eat what he does and feel good. I go to the doctor often and have had several screenings, labs and tests done. I eat 3 times a day but I see what he eats and I could never eat like that again without feeling ill.
I looked it up and 170 lbs is okay for 5'11. It is well with-in normal range,
I also run alot so I think I burn more calories then I used to. I always have let things roll off but his comments constantly about my weight, diet and size of clothes is upsetting.

He is jealous!!
Don't feel bad about yourself because of him. He is just talking crap about you to make him feel better about himself. It stems from his insecurity.
I would have tons of answers to his comments!
"I wanna outlive you..."
"somebody needs to eat the veggies, doesn't seem it's you..."
"I just ran 2 miles, hows that pizza, hahhaaa?"
"I like to be lean, you can have my piece .."
"I ate like you before .. now I am smarter ..."
"I just love veggies ..."
IMHO, the roommate has...a problem.
Whether it relates strictly to jealousy about the OP's weight, or if there is some sort of hidden agenda, it is impossible to say from afar.
In any event, it is important for the OP to remember: Don't allow his problem to become your problem!
Your weight is perfect to me, and please keep at it.
If you do this mathematical calculation
5'11" is 180.34 cm (71 *2.54)
170lb is 77.3kg which is very close to 80kg, (170÷2.2)
which is perfect formula for the weight: any cm over 1m should be accompanied with approximately that many kg.
Just keep eating the way you do and keep exercising/running the way you do.
Tell whoever is asking or commenting, you are fine and you did your testing, dr is pleased with your results and so you are. To me, that person that bullied you, seems overweight.
I am overweight, too and often I catch myself being jealous seeing people with normal figure. So, yes he most likely is jealous as well, someone pointed it out already.

The problem is him. He is unhappy that you are thin and he is not, I think.
I'd call him out on it and if he changes, then fine. But if he says some awful thing, or he won't let your size go, then find another friend. This person is obsessing about your size, and the problem is in his mind. You can't change him; he has to realize his craziness and change himself. I imagine he won't be willing to change.
You sound really healthy to me.
