eating habits

[Creepy-bg]

what are your eating habits?

personally mine are all over the place. obviously as a meth addict I sometimes go days on nothing but kool-ade. it used to be that I couldn't eat when I was wired... like literally. Nowadays I'm used to it... I can eat, it's just that I don't really notice it until I go "hey, I haven't eating since Wednesday... fuck i bet I'm hungry"

on those days when I'm not on a tear I usually eat a couple meals a day... I don't give thought to what I eat, besides whether it tastes good or not. Calorie counting and food groups aren't my thing.

every once in awhile (once a month or so) I binge out. I'll eat like all day. Yes, sometimes it's the weed... but not always... it's just something I do. I'll eat and eat and eat and eat. It's like there's a hole in my stomach or something and the best I can do is cover it up for an hour or so before I've gotta put some more in there.

We've been low on food here the past week, but it didn't hassle me till today 'cause I was wired/burning out. Woke up today hungry as hell, was shakey and spaced out even from it. Finally I managed to hunt down some frozen hamburger meat and thawed out enough for a big greasy cheeseburger. It's making me feel like I'm gunna pass out (in a good way )

I usually eat once a day, sometimes i don't skip lunch though. I don't know, being full sometimes makes me feel lethargic.

And I usually eat whatever I want. Pizza and cookies baby. I hope you do too, like KOOL AIDE

[Creepy-bg]

I feel like a junkie... my eyes are seriously rolling back in my head from that cheeseburger. best I've felt all week.

[Creepy-bg]

I think ate some tainted meat... I'm starting to feel like I'm gunna spew

I eat three meals a day of roughly the same thing everyday. I couldn't survive without having three designated meals. Fridays and Sundays are my designated cheat days in which i binge on an extra large salad or two or three (yes, that's about the extent of "bad" foods i eat). You don't feel so bad when you binge on vegetables

[jessica129]

I can't eat when I'm depressed or under emotional trauma, or else I'll feel sick. During those times I'll go for days, and weeks without eating hardly anything. It just makes the depression worse, so it sucks.

I wish that were my case. If so, i'd be rail thin. I cannot stop eating when i'm depressed.

I'm feeling a good long thread coming on.

I have lots of opinions about nutrition, at least, my personal nutrition.

I eat regularly. I like eating three times a day, sometimes four. The best thing I can think of to eat are carbohydrates, if I wanna fill up on anything, it's that. It makes me feel good, they seem to be healthy, and I usually tend to not feel weighed down afterwards.

I do eat all types of food though... I think moderation of most things is key. Meat, fish, dairy... all of them I eat, but am careful not to eat too much of, for specific reasons.

[Rocky]

I notice excess sugars spike and crash my energy

well yeah

also, if people get addicted to sugar, and they eat something without it, they will still feel hungry even when they're full, and will have to eat something else, which causes people to get fat.

I could care less about "organic" - I've read of enough situations where the "natural" alternatives "organic" farmers use have side-effects of their own. (For example, a slime mold used in alternative to synthetic pesticides turned out to be neurotoxic.)

that's because toxins are also organic!

duh

the organic label is for people who are both afraid and ignorant.

Meat, you mean.





Anyways - eat as much spinach as possible. Just do that. When you go to subways, get the spinach, and don't get the chopped iceberg lettuce. Just do it. Don't ask questions, just do it.


I eat generally 3 meals a day, and then whatever snacks seem to be around that are decently healthy. My metabolism is off the charts, so i don't know what to say here. I can tell very well how my body is reacting to what i eat, and I suppose I shouldn't assume the same is true for others. If you can't taste the difference between good food and crap food for a while, then keep trying. If you pay attention, even if you get your favorite cookies, the marginal utility will decrease - law of diminishing returns. It is usually your mind that gets in the way of realizing what is actually going on in your body.

I eat veggies whenever I can, fresh ones. I don't like any other kind of vegetable really. Carrots are my current favorites, but anything is really good. Vegetables are wonderful, though hard to come by when fresh, sometimes.


My family has (slowly) been trained to understand that I like organic bananas better than real ones If you can't taste the difference between them and the generic radiated ones, keep trying.


When I eat crap food at school, I feel it instantly. *sigh*.

i have rarely gone to great lengths to be eat particularly well although sometimes it just happens for awhile and i feel better but dont maintain it. most of the time i dont think of "health" as a reason to eat in a certain way. i struggle with a good reason for eating most of the time. i sort of get a kick out of buying healthy food on occasion, but im more prone to eat cheaply and to support a kind of feast or famine mentality in which i have too many healthy options and my solution is to eat/drink it all very quickly so as to give myself fewer options and more reliable food relationships OR i have nothing but old condiments.

What's wrong with meat?

I'm eating nutella with milk right now. mmm, good.

[Kristiina]

I eat a rather regural diet. I eat lots of carbs and some protein in the morning. (muesli with yoghurt or porridge and fried eggs). I some carbs and some protein for lunch (just a regular lunch with some pasta/potatoes/rice and some meat/fish and souce and salad). And I eat very little carbs and lots of protein for dinner (meat and veggies or fish and salad. Sometimes with cottage cheese, mushrooms, souce or anything low on carb content.)

I do make exceptions. Yesterday I ate pasta for dinner! But those really are exceptions. Can't remember the last time I had muesli or any cereal after 12 am. I don't pay much attention to fat content, except I don't eat things with ridiculous amounts - Did you know that Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise has 70% of fat? I avoid Fish fingers because they have about 25% of fat. Usually protein foods have more fat than carb foods, so I'd go nuts if I tried to keep track of fat content as well.

[Creepy-Cyclops]

I tend to eat what I want, within reason. Unless your training for some athletic event then one does not have to be too rigid. Besides, i'm a great believer in the body knowing what it needs, well at least for me.

[FDG]

I usually eat a 40-30-30 (carbs-pro-fats). I try to avoid the least healthy food. I try to eat when I'm hungry, which means that I eat more when I exercise more, etc

I don't deny myself sweets or cakes or ice cream, though - obviously I also try not to overdose on them. I remain at around 10 percent bodyfat during the winter, and 8 percent during the summer this way. But my daily intake varies dramatically depending on how much I cycle: sometimes for long sessions (+150 km) I can reach a total of 5000 kcals-day. In these cases I totally binge on ice cream since it tastes so fucking good.

This is just stupid for two reasons.

1) Spinach is toxic (oxalic acid) and can make you sick/kill you if you eat too much
2) Spinach also has a lot of Vitamin A in it, which is fat soluble, which means you can overdose on it.

yeah, but do you really think most americans are eating enough spinach to suffer a fatal overdose?

[Rocky]

of course not

I was arguing against his extreme "no limit spinach diet" thing

I like spinach myself

[olduser]

I have to be very careful with what I eat, because my digestion is very poor. It sucks, but through the years I've adjusted, and adjusted, and adjusted, and so by now I have a fairly good idea of what I can get away with ... and since what I can get away with is not much, I keep myself pretty healthy.
Breakfast is fruit, usually 2-4 apples, oranges or grapefruit, or an equivalent amount (as in, a lot) of something else, like strawberries or watermelon. I never eat anything other than fruit before noon. Noon is an arbitrary time I've picked, but it simplifies things for me. I usually don't eat fruit after I've started eating other foods, either.
I eat a lot of fresh veggies. Tons of romaine, lots of carrots & celery and parsley ... tomatoes (yes, botanically a fruit, but digests like a vegetable), bell peppers, broccoli, etc. I can tell a difference if I don't get my greens every day.
With any other foods, I have to take enzymes to support my digestion, and even with enzymes, I can't handle meat, high fats, or much dairy (a little cheese is usually OK).
It's a lot of work, and I miss meat and ice cream and french fries, etc. On the upside, I look about ten years younger than my age ...

The best food, period.

[tiny_dancer]

I had a PB&J sandwich for lunch today! I actually make them like grilled cheese - toast them in a pan til the peanut butter gets nice and melty. Mmmmmmm...

As for my other eating habits - I eat a little bit of everything. And that pretty much describes it.
