Weekend with no plans, ADHD edition:
- wake up
- looking forward to a full day of fatty food, gaming and shitposting on lemmy
- go downstairs to make scrambled eggs
- all pans are dirty
- dishwasher still broken
- partner asks if I’ve got the present for her aunt’s birthday which is today and I apparently agreed to go to with her, 2 months ago
- the day spirals downward from there
Same here for most of the above, but I would like to suggest something I do often with random obligatory attendances. Every time you’re bored at the party, say your tummy is acting strange. Free pass to go to the bathroom to fuck around on your phone whenever you want. Nobody wants to talk about yr poops. You might owe your partner an explanation, but you can follow your heart on that.
Wait, do people eats less than at least one frozen pizza per meal? Like, I don’t get them often, but I need two to feel full.
(I always get shit for writing about portion sizes, I’m only 70kg)
This could be an American thing.
I’m a big eater and sometimes feel like I could eat two cheap frozen pizzas.
When I went to America think I finished one meal and that’s because I was hungover, haven’t eaten all day and starving.
Their meal sizes are fucking insane.
The meal I ate was in waffle house. It’s this danky looking chain restaurant, it has this sad looking yellow and brown colours, all the furniture is plastic and tacky, they have basic coffee and pretty oily food that is super basic, waffles, eggs toast then you got to put a load of butter and sugar on top. As it’s open all the time and cheap it is full of people at all hours and a frequent stop for drunk college kids.
Anyway turns out it is amazing! Everyone should go.
Here are two chefs talking about how great it is.
Some just eat a lot. I do sometimes, not frozen pizza but other stuff, but then I also regularly skip both breakfast and lunch or dinner without really thinking about it so on the whole I don’t think I eat more than others. I’m around 60 KG. The one that makes people look is when I pack away 30 pieces of sushi while they ordered 10 pieces and are somehow satisfied. That or how I can kill a full bag of potato chips (300 g) in one sitting, a cool 1500 kcal of crispy goodness.
I think that’s just you. I weigh like 40kg more than you, and I usually eat 3/8 pieces when I make a frozen pizza
I’m honestly curious, do you snack a lot or something? Where do your calories come from?
I looked up a few frozen pizzas you can get in my area and they are around 800-900 kcal. Assuming you eat 3/8 per meal, that’s 9/8 a day, or up to about 1000 kcal. On the basis that you average a similar amount of calories per meal and consume the usual three meals.
The average man needs between 2000 and 3000 kcal. Woman start at 1600.
Since I gun for at least 2800 kcal and my average breakfast is about 600 kcal, my other meals need to be ~1200 kcal (1.3-1.5 pizzas). I never eat outside of meals except for maybe once over the weekend.
It’s a little more than the recommended serving size on the pizzas I get. And I do usually add some extra toppings and cheese to make it better. I work from home, and don’t have any particularly active hobbies, especially in the winter, so it’s definitely enough for me for one meal. And my stomach is definitely full. I can only eat a fourth piece of im really starving
Are you still growing (teenager) or are very active or both? Calorie needs vary based on stuff like that, so if you’re discussing with people above 25 who are only mildly active they wouldn’t be able to burn away those calories as easily. Our base metabolic rate slows down too.
I’m around 30, actually. I used to be quite active, yes, but I’ve been sitting on an injury for almost a year now and even lost weight in that time eating the same amount (I still track every meal, so’ll still be in the habit once I’m fully healed).
Otherwise I’m healthy, even got checked for stuff like thyroid problems.
Need to add a free space for “time travel”, it’s where you look at the clock and it’s 9:13a and then minutes later when you look again it’s 2a the next morning
eat a whole frozen pizza? that is a walk in the park on a regular day
BLACKOUT!
What’d I win?
