Do you ever come home from a meal out

[princesspadam]

And want to eat again?????

I’ve had a good intake today, porridge & fruit at breakfast
salmon & stir fry veg at lunch
just been out with a friend and had scampi & chips (literally 7 pieces of scampi)

come home and I’m trying to justify making myself an egg sandwich

I’m ravenous

This is literally no human’s experience with food. We may eat different amounts, but everyone would reach a point where they can’t consume any more food.
That 10k calorie meal you had, could you have continued to 20k or 30k calories? Almost certainly not.

This can't be a serious question.

Are you unaware of binge eating disorder?

You don't truly think everybody just eats to satiety then stops. Surely. You know there are experiences outside your own.

Whoops, I fell for it.

I should have known with ‘plate after plate of jacket potatoes’. Jumped the shark much.

Carbs only ever make you hungry 🤷‍♀️ And the more carbs you have, the hungrier you are, and the more carbs you crave.

Enjoy your sandwich! But if you are bothered by being hungry all the time and it's making you unhappy, you need more protein and fibre in a meal. If you're not bothered, then carry on living your best life!

After battling an eating disorder in my teens and years of therapy I’m glad to say I eat until I’m full. When I’m hungry I eat again. I’m healthy BMI and very active.

If that hunger happened to be after I’d been for meal then I would eat again. I don’t understand all these people who say they couldn’t bring themselves too.

We eat out possibly twice a week and it completely depends what I eat and what time. If we ate at 6ish then I’m probably going to want a snack before bed. 8ish and I’ll be good. I’m not a dessert person and I wouldn't order something like pie/fish and chips like PP said.

There’s no shame in being hungry.

Since I had a baby I struggle with portion control - but there does genuinely come a point where I don’t want to and indeed cannot eat any more. I once watched a documentary called ‘why skinny people aren’t fat’ and it basically showed that there are many people who do not have the ‘off switch’ when it comes to eating and those people tend to be overweight, whereas skinny people can actually sense when their bodies are sated and struggle to eat more than they need (for example if ‘forced’ to continue after a filling meal they would literally vomit). As a formerly skinny person (I completely recognised what the doc what describing) who is now pushing overweight I feel age, covid and pregnancy hormones have definitely interfered with my ‘off switch’.

edit: I think that is what all the weight loss injections do, give people an off switch by changing their normal response to appetite. It’s also the reason almost everyone gains weight back after they stop using them - once your off switch is faulty it is impossible to ‘know’ when you have eaten enough.

Every French restaurant I’ve ever been to has had that result. Both mouthfuls are delicious but I’m still starving at the end of the meal.

My Oh & I are pigs.. & it's even better when the next day there's left overs, sadly we don't eat the same so at weekends there's always batch & cheese for me

On occasion I’ve come home and had toast….

same I have also had this my entire life I remember family member saying slow down when I eat and I'm like really I wish I could stuff face even faster!!!! And I just wish I had known about calories etc as a kid!!!

FYI I am not eligible for anything like mounjaro and even if I were it is WAAAAY too expensive to even consider. Plus I would have to talk to someone like doctors etc about this what I have going on and that is also out of the question. I went in because of my anxiety once and I was put on very scary medicine which I stopped taking after less than 1 month because it only made the brain fog WORSE!!! I am sure not looking to go take ANY of these chemicals!!!

Realize that over eating happens to every one it is just the scale that really shock me of myself sometimes I am just shocked senseless about what I ate it's like I freeze and realize oh GOD and then suddenly I stop eating that is all!!

And as far as eating more goes I don't think it is known how much I can eat like it has never happened that I don't want to eat anymore but I had it where I ate so many baby carrots that my jaw hurt because I chewed so much all my face was sore that's when I stopped (about 3kg carrots) and I also had it where I ate so many olives (jars of green olives, one of my favorite :((() that after a while my throat and all felt sour I had basically had oily burps after like 8 jars or smth so YES it happens that something comes up and im like ok no way I "can" eat any more but I am sure if I forced it I could just keep eating and eating

Only rarely. But I still remember going with a very gourmet-minded, ultra-foodie, Francophile BiL to a very swanky and expensive French restaurant where the portions were very stingy.

Once we were outside afterwards, that same BiL said, ‘Well, I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m going for a McDonald’s.’ 😂

That feeling of being ‘ravenous ’ for me only seems to appear when my blood sugar is a bit out of whack, usually means that I’ve had quite a carbs breakfast (for example porridge and fruit) which would significantly raise my blood sugar. That is always followed by a drop when I feel a bit sleeply while insulin does its stuff and then my brain responds to the dropping blood sugar by telling me a really need to eat as a matter of urgency.

adding more good fats and leafy green veg to my diet keeps my blood sugar much more stable.

appreciate thus might not be the kind of response you were hoping for.

He's one of those men that can eat everything in sight and not gain any weight at all, never quite known an appetite like it 😂

Cos he's always hungry again with about an hour and a half

@WavyRavey
