What did you eat yesterday?

[Simple Simon]

Maybe you're right.  I can eat a crazy amount at once, but I do feel like falling asleep afterward (insulin spike and all that, I guess).

When I eat small meals I always want more... But then again, I always want more when I eat big meals too.  I can just eat and eat and eat... I think maybe I have a large stomach or something.  I'm definitely not 'normal' in this regard -- whenever anyone says they're 'full' I just look at the puny amount they've eaten and think 'wtf!!'

You are showing all the signs of an anorexic

instead of just repeating this ad infitum, why don't you tell me what you'd recommend?

and i don't mean "see a professional", i mean how do you plan your meals?

1. Cook in bulk.
2. Visit your local IKEA and buy these. They're dishwasher friendly and have an air vent.

I dont.

[cephissus]

I dont.

you don't put any thought into it at all?

if that's the case, are you lucky enough to have someone to cook for you?

I dont have anyone cook for me, I make all my own food, I just dont obsess about it.
Eggs and toast for breakfast, chicken cottage cheese for lunch, evening meal of steak or chicken with a cream sauce

thats pretty much it, the occasional cheese sandwich as well.

well, i used to be the same way, when i first started cooking for myself.  same thing every day:

breakfast: 2 cups grape nuts, 1 cup milk
lunch: hot dog
dinner: double turkey burger and some rice, cottage cheese

then i graduated to "bodybuilder meal prep": bulk cooking and storage, still the same thing every day.

finally, i started to cook a different dinner each night.  this happened when i learned how much i enjoyed cooking.  however, over time, i began to put more and more emphasis on dinner, to the point where I was just a few weeks ago... eating nothing but an elaborate dinner.

i came to believe i needed a large dinner, probably because of malnourishment.  in fact, i notice how much less thought i give to cooking and eating immediately after a meal.

it's hard for me to balance the different goals of meal preparation: enjoyment of cooking, nutritional need, desire for variety, etc.  but this tendency to indecision pervades many aspects of my life, not just my diet.

i think this is largely because i cling to untested beliefs, e.g. 'i can only achieve exceptional leanness if i suffer' or 'i can only achieve exceptional leanness if i follow an extreme dieting strategy'.  well, my leanness is probably mostly inherent, and i can probably find a means of eating which gives me a lot more mental stability with little fat gain.  this may be something as mundane as eating like a normal person, 3 times a day... i just have to keep trying to figure it out.

Once you figure out there really is nothing to figure out you may actually get somewhere.

You can't think for others. Not everyone has the same relationship with nutrition, so your simplistic one lines are highly ineffective.

To advise him, its the part about him listening to it that I couldnt care less about.

You try to advise someone with a complete different relationship with food. As a youngster, he had prob the same approach as you, but not anymore.

That's great news, no doubt you'll be needing as many empty takeaway containers as you can lay hands on for your elaborate 12 x 247kcal meals per day, right?
