Eating Too Much Puns

Reese’s feces

Hi! My boyfriend(26M) and I(18F) had a bit of a fight earlier today because of how "much" I eat in a day. We are long distance and are about to go on a bit of a trip together for like 4 days, it's mostly to just relax together. I paid for this entire trip, even his ticket to come. He hasn't put in a penny and I do not expect him to either.

The problem came around when I started talking about places I wanted to go eat, he basically shut me down and said that we would only have one meal a day and if I wanted more I could have apples or some other fruit. He is underweight and very used to only eating once a day, while I really need my 3 meals a day. I complained and said I didnt want that and that it would just make me grumpy to not have my food routines, we went a bit back and forth about it. He said that a normal person doesn't need 3 meals a day and that I'm pushing my trivial needs to astronomical heights. He ended up calling me a spoiled bitch and thats when I broke.

I did get really upset and I told him to leave me alone and whatnot. He eventually did and we havent spoken since. I am very sensitive about food stuff, since I used to have an eating disorder and just recently I've actually started having a good relationship with food. It just felt like I got pushed down that hole again.

But yeah maybe I care about food too much? He said its just a few days and I shouldn't be so spoiled, and while that's maybe true I just wanted to spend my time with him in full comfort. Should I just back down and apologize?

My apartment rent is also jumping 40% this year to $1,400 for a single bedroom which will likely force me to move out. And no I don’t want to hear “but Boston, New York, and San Francisco”.... this isn’t about competing or measuring against other cities that aren’t even comparable because they’re so much bigger. It is comparing Cincinnati against itself and how it is undeniably getting more expensive much faster than the rate of Inflation.

I've used several online calculators and based on my lean body mass, I need 130 g-ish of protein per day at bare minimum. When I was just doing ZC alone, I could accomplish this with 3 to 4 meals of around 30-40 g of protein per serving. But I'm trying to start IF now and only eat 1-2 meals throughout the afternoon/evening. The problem is, I don't know how it's mathematically possible to get my daily protein needs without consuming 60+ g per meal, which I've read is too much for most people without getting into gluconeogenesis territory. God forbid I try bulking and need even more protein per day in the future...

So how are all you IFers solving this problem? Do you strategically eat a bunch of small meals within your IF window, keeping each protein serving low? Or do you just say fuck it, eat a huge ass steak and risk getting kicked out of ketosis?

Edit: Forgot to also ask about the insulinogenic effect of too much protein in one setting, which if I understand correctly, is the mechanism more likely to kick one off of ketosis vs GNG.

:(

My dad was interested in my cereal bc it has a lot of fiber, I went “cool! I really like it with peanut butter and frozen berries, that keeps me full!”

And he went “are you watching how much fat you’re eating? is there another alternative for the peanut butter? How much are you eating? Don’t you know that being in a caloric deficit will make you lose weight? Peanut butter is fat, and the extra calories will make you fat!” And a bunch of bull crap questions while I was trying to make my dinner.

Screw you dude, I eat to feel full and I don’t obsess over food anymore. If you weren’t so intimidating and I wasn’t scared of your reaction to me expressing my feelings maybe I wouldn’t respond back with an attitude!

You’ll be to nausea to eat anything and you can’t be tempted by cookies in the kitchen if you are unable to leave your room!

I've been doing carnivore for quite a while now, just over a year. Over the last few months I've decreased my eating to one meal a day for budget reasons. I thought I was eating enough but I experienced poor circulation and low body temperature - some days I just could NOT get warm. I'd also get stomach rumbles throughout the day. I ran the numbers on what I was eating and it turned out to be around 1800 calories. I'm 5'11", 155 lbs. male. I decided recently to try to move to two meals a day to help eat more food and I've increased my fat intake to nearly 80% of calories. I now consume between 4000 and 5000 calories in a day. It's been about a week of this and I've held steady at 155 lbs. This has solved my body heat problem, and I'm not feeling hungry throughout the day anymore, but I'm concerned about the long term effects of this. Should I be concerned? When can you tell if you are eating too much?

Daily diet is approximately 13 oz of chuck steak with 1/2 stick of butter, 1 lb of 27/73 ground beef, 1/2 lb of bacon, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 6 raw eggs.

Hey guys, so i wanted to apologize in advance because i know this is fault. I just want to make things better for her in a better environment.

So i got my tortoise few months ago. I never owned a pet so this was actually my first time. I tried to get as many info as possible from the pet store but all i got was "yeah they can live indoors, they eat lettuce,tomatoes,spinach etc" and that was it. So that's what i did and now it came to a point where she doesn't go to the bathroom, she only sleeps and doesn't drink or eat anything.

What kind of environment should i provide for my turtoise snd what exactly might have caused that? Should i visit a vet?

Thank you in advance !

This was a few weeks ago, but the repercussions can still be felt.

I am a high school senior who is having some fun in their final year of high school, so naturally, I have been smoking a bit of weed with my friends overnight most weekends, as you do. We had tried edibles before, but only had taken 75mg max, and we didn't get as much out of it as we hear people have gotten. Now, four of my friends and I were at my house on a Saturday night planning to eat a pot brownie one of us had acquired. So we waited until my parents had gone to sleep and at around ten-thirty decide to chow down. I am quite stoic about being really safe when it comes to stuff like this, that's why whenever we smoke it will be in the evening and somewhere we can stay the night or catch an uber from to avoid driving, so me being me I asked my friend a lot of questions about how much was in it and how long we will be feeling the effects for, as he is far more experienced than any of us (or so I thought.) He said there was about 1000mg, so 200 each which is a pretty insane amount for stupid teenagers who have either never done this or done very little, however, he reassured us that it's a normal amount and we should stop feeling the effects fully about 12-14 hours after.

Now, here comes the part where I get ridiculously high. We split it up into rough fifths and knew it wouldn't be distributed evenly so we decided the heaviest people should take the middle, thicker pieces, and the smallest should eat the outside pieces, fair enough, I grabbed that fuckin fat middle piece and shoved it all in my mouth. Now, there's a possibility I had just slammed 300mg of THC into my empty stomach, and about half an hour later that shit hit me all at once.

I was sitting on the couch watching my friends play Mariokart Wii when I started to feel it, and two minutes after that I told them it might have been a bad idea because the television screen had already started wobbling. Ten minutes later one of my friends who for some reason wasn't at all affected started prompting me to join whatever conversation was going on, I started to look towards him but literally the act of movement was so overstimulating it was insanely uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing. So he walked over to me and looked me in the eyes and asked what was wrong, and the moment he got a good look at me he knew I was already out visiting Voyager II. He was also quite worried because he felt my heartbeat which was at about 150 at that point

Long story short, our chapter hires our own chef. A brother in my pledge class eats an absurd amount of food daily (4 plates at every meal) and it has come to a situation where he recently ate $75 worth of chicken that was meant for the houses lunch. He pays for a meal plan, but if we did some math it’s pretty easy to see that the chapter loses money on him, simply based on the extra food he eats. He also kinda sucks in general (bad gpa, isn’t social, most guys kinda think he sucks)

Is this worth the chapter dropping this brother?

I'm getting so frustrated and mad. I way overcomplicate everything and even though I like cooking I just got sick of cooking because of that.

Yesterday I made pasta with cottege cheese, little of cream and sugar. Today I made couscous with spinach, garlic and eggs. Those meals satisy me more than anything else. I feel so good after them. I feel so light because I didn't put dozen of different stuff inside of me. I feel good because I didn't spend too much time in the kitchen. I feel good because I didn't buy too many useless products at the grocery store. I feel good because I didn't make mess in the kitchen. I want to keep it simple. I want to try to continue this and see if it has more upsides than downsides. Can you help me? Do you know any similiar recipes like this?

my thoughts:

When you use too many ingredients, not only you risk that you will screw the meal, but also you end up eating it without tasting those ingredients because it's all too mixed and blended. I don't like that. My gut also doesn't like this because the more different pieces of food I eat the harder it is to digest. Also, when I make "too varied" meal, I end up eating it for too long because you have to chew all those pieces of food. Sorry if this sounds weird to you, but this is how it works to me and I told myself that I need to keep it simple. No more oats with cacao banana milk coconut flakes and other useless additives. No more salads made of ton of different veggies. My body and my mind cannot take it anymore :D

Same with spices. I think I will limit it to 3 spices max on each meal. I put too much spices and kill all the flavours.

Sorry if this is too long, but I needed to rant a little. :D

life’s not that bad after all ig
