Survey: Please tell me honestly - do you eat an entire packet of biscuits in one sitting?

He says it is common, and lots of people eat a full packet at once.

Do you, or could you, or would you like to?

A small posh biscuit pack with 8 maximum then maybe but probably not. But I'm not so much a biscuit person so find it relatively easy to resist. In my younger days I'd demolish a pot of Haagen Daz, and cake is easy to eat as well. And pudding, yum, I never make them because I'd be scarily obese if I had pudding on a regular basis.

If it's a packet of cookies/jaffa cakes then easily.. If it's a big pack of digestives or any of the ones that are all dry, then no. Biscuits are so moreish though. I have a sweet tooth and the digestive system of a cow!

YES

No not a pack of biscuits, because I don't like them.
But I would eat 6 bags of crisps, a whole big chocolate bar, a whole cake, or a box of ice lollies.
I try not to buy things like these because I have no control restraint, if I know it's there I will eat it!

Yes, easily, have done many times. It doesn't affect my weight.

We normally don't keep biscuits in the house.

As others - something like jammie dodgers/crunch creams totally could... Would probably stop at 3/4 or a pack in reality. A big pack of digestives no.

Not healthy though and I know it.

I found that fig rolls were so easy to munch on when I used to do gaming. Then one day I looked at the packet. 70 calories each! 700 calories for a packet of fig rolls. Shocking.

2 slices left of my pizza. Poor effort umbongo 4/10.

No, no, no.

Don't even eat biscuits. Except oatcakes. I can eat a lot of nuts, though.

Yes
My excuse is I only really like them when freshly opened. So it makes sense to have one more while they're still nice. And one more...

I did eat a whole packet of Maryland cookies once when breastfeeding dd1, who was a nightmare to feed. Dh was useless, and his dinner wasn't ready aw didums

Jaffa cakes could which is why I don't buy them

God no! couldn't even begin to contemplate it (even though I am vair fat). I hardly ever eat biscuits but honestly can't ever remember eating more than 2 at a time.

17 stone dh wouldn't either.

Yes I do.

Yes

Yes, yes and yes. Especially if they're Viscounts or fig rolls. I'd argue that the fig rolls have medicinal purpose though.

No yes and yes.

The no is only because I'm doing slimming world.

Used to do this as a student, a packet of Maryland cookies was about 39p and an acceptable dinner IMO.

Saw my gym coach do it last week also Maryland. He runs marathons and shit though.

3x yes. Blood sugar issues now - chicken or egg? I just get a red mist of hunger once I start eating sweet food, must be lovely not to have to battle that. Count yourself lucky you 2 biscuit people! Sounds like most people are doing what they want either way (i.e. not willpower stopping most non-eaters they just don't actually want more).

I got a lift back from a work conference with a woman one day and she stopped off at the petrol station and went in and bought a packet of biscuits and ate them all. I was totally shocked! I couldn't believe a person would eat a whole packet of biscuits like a packet of crisps. I thought it was mad!

I am shocked all over again now reading that other people do it too. And I absolutely love biscuits!!

No, no and no.

And I never have either. I'd be pretty appalled at myself if I ever did.

Yes, yes, yes. Massive food issues and disorder though and little/no willpower or control. it's worrying and I try to control myself, but sometimes I'm shopping and the stuff ends up in the trolley (no control/denial) and then I have to eat it all straightaway. Pretty much like hiding the evidence, as if it never happened.
Quite cathartic, writing that down.

Do I? No.

Could I? It's certainly possible, under the right circumstances

Would I? Absolutely not. Unless they're shortbread, in which case I can't be held responsible for my actions.

Yes, and I have a binge eating problem!

Extremely common amongst dieters who are going way too low below their calories. The body forces gain by instigating binges. VERY common, but most people aren't honest.
