    I’ve been calorie counting for a while now, and one of the things I’ve found is that if you get one average burger and medium fries, the fries are often more calories. A medium fry at the place I ate yesterday is 560 kcal. Personally, I’d rather get a second sandwich.

      I’m lucky to have a smallish appetite, which I think of as a superpower - I can’t even eat an entire Whopper, or typical adult-size burger. I don’t how anybody can put away a second one.

        By eating more than the stomach really wants over and over until it expands. Then you can eat more and more and it expands!

        Then it sucks trying to eat less because the body is so user to the more the less feels like shit!

        Loved having to eat until I felt sick as a kid. Totally didn’t fuck anything up. disgruntled sounds

          Interesting. To me feeling overfed is not a good feeling. The few times I’ve said, “Tonight I’m gonna have a real FEAST!” I’ve always felt terrible later. All-you-can-eat places are a waste of money for me.

            The feeling itself usually isn’t uh, great. The fullness hurts. But there a lot going on. Consuming feels great because of an overabundance of brain chemicals (the act of eating and tasting). Waste feels horrific because of upbringing. So you get use to the discomfort because of the rest. But it still doesn’t help because it’s not great. It’s also complicated and probably per person. There’s probably more but I just woke up from a nightmare. Not about food though lol.
