Poll: What are you eating, Escapists?

[EvilRoy]

Fair, but I spend most of my day sitting in an office chair so I'm not exactly doing energy heavy stuff. Not intended as a slight but a lot of the infantrypeople I've met after they come out of the force typically really battle the pudge since they lose the physical side but keep the eating habits.

Yeah, that can definitely happen. Also with prolonged injury and rehab, when someone might be transferred or put on light duties. I managed to cut down on caloric intake when I left but I can definitely get why so many got used to downing copious bolognese and simply ported that into civil life.

I have Klinefelter's so I never managed to bulk much at all, but still needed the calories to perform. But without someone kicking my arse I've dropped a lot of physical activity out of my day. Dropping the eats was a problem at first, but I adjusted.

Definitely. Its really surprising when you find out how many calories you actually get on a daily basis to maintain a weight. A 200 lb 6' adult only needs 2400 kcal a day. And is considered overweight, depending on % fat. And then you ask how people can eat such huge meals and be fine and find out its because an hour of hard jogging is about 700 kcals burnt.

You eat...once a day usually? That sounds pretty rough. Well, if it isn't then it isn't, but it doesn't sound like an easy thing to keep up.

I've been eating one meal a day for nearly two months. It's surprisingly easy if you eat the right foods.

OT: I haven't eaten yet, but today I plan on pan frying some small sections of beef heart and serving it with some chicken liver.

Like what, a metre-long sub sandwich??? :I

Foot long coldcut (subway) + mayo = 720 + ~120 kcal = 840 kcal

Avg intake for 6', 200 lb person = 2300 kcal (maintaining)

= 2.73' of sub * 0.3048 = 0.83 m of sub.

Yeah, about. If you cut out the mayo, 0.97 m of sub.

just looted some of my moms homemade taco leftovers from my parents house, it's delicious even reheated in the microwave.

This morning I had a banana and an orange for breakfast, lunch was a jimmy johns slim 1 order.

 

[mecegirl]

Korean Beef with snow peas and jasmine rice. The beef was in the slow cooker all afternoon and I just added the peas and cooked tge rice one I got home from work. I am very, very full now. I picked up chocolate cupcakes for desert andxended up eating one before dinner. Best appetizer ever.

In my personal experience, food high in fat and protein.

 

[StormShaun]

A Belgian waffle with some crunchy hazelnut spread, topped off with some banana slices.

It's a good breakfast, one that you'll enjoy immediately... until an hour later, where you will go "why do I do this to my body?"
Then you realize that someone bought two packets of the stuff!

Still, while I have some regret, I love Belgian sweet food too much.
Also, no, you come near my food, you'll lose a hand. Trust me, you would do the same if you saw the Australian prices for these.

A ham and swiss sammich I got from WalMart. Probably a turkey sammich I got from the same afterwards.

... Maybe Cheerios.

[Wrex Brogan]

...strawberry-flavoured Oreo Chocolate and Mint-flavoured Oreo Chocolate. Also have some Costco pizza waiting for dinner.

...what? I'm Australian, these things are New and Fancy over here!

 

[omega 616]

I am just about to tuck into 2 sausage balms with a modest amount of brown sauce. I don't usually eat for breakfast and almost never have sauce on things (burgers, hotdogs etc) but today, I am feeling in the mood for it.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Whatever two people can survive off of for about $70 a week. So, garbage food that tastes great but is probably slowly killing me haha

 

[Cowabungaa]

Granola with semi-skimmed yoghurt because I just got up out of bed and I'm one of those young-adults who doesn't think that skipping breakfast is cool and hip.

And no you can't have some. My granola, delicious delicious granola.

 

[infohippie]

Just about to make dinner, in fact. Broccoli, carrots, mashed potato, and lamb chops, yum!

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I love granola for breakfast. Today was a bowl of granola cereal with dried cranberries and almond milk.

Currently I have a honeycomb flapjack that arrived in a Graze box earlier today.

For dinner? Planning on a mushroom, spring onion and chorizo omelette with a tomato and rocket salad.

Really? More power to you, I guess; I think it tastes like something the Devil paves his driveway with.

Graze boxes? I heard of those. They seemed...shonky somehow. I fancied I detected the whiff of a con. >.>

They're pretty good actually. A bit expensive, but what health food isn't. And when I stack up the cost of a box once a week to the cost of buying lunches-to-go every day from any of the places near my work they end up saving me money, so I'm tempted to stick with them. They ship out four promo vouchers with every box too, so if you live in the UK and fancy giving them a free shot PM me and I'll drop you a code.

 

[Fallow]

I have nothing, so go ahead.

I'm cutting for another 1.5 months so I can be beachbody-ready for July-August. It's a frustrating experience being hungry all the time (and working out when I know it won't make me stronger), but it's worth it to look like a physical manifestation of unabashed hot-mama sexy.

 

[Fat Hippo]

For dinner, I fried up some minced meat (mix of pork and beef) with lots of onions, garlic and ginger, and spiced with soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper and some chili. When I'm cooking only for myself, I tend to go for intense taste. Served with a side of jasmine rice. It was quite good.

I also had some candy afterwards. I don't even like most candy that much, but my parents won some in a contest and had nothing better to with it than give it to me. Ah well, at least I've got this bitchin' temporary fish tattoo on my arm now, courtesy of a bubble gum wrapper.

 

[Vicarious Reality]

Katarinas Kardamom Rusks with some Honey from Lars Petterson

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Gonna go make myself an omelette with bacon with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and hand-squeezed orange/lemon juice to wash it down with. Maybe a butter croissant afterwards if I'm still hungry.

As for later on, probably gonna make a stir fry out of diced beef, one of those ready made stir fry salad packs from supermarkets, Sherwood noodles, olive oil and soy sauce. Probably gonna wash that down with some Kefir.

I'm trying to eat more in a day cause of my gym routine, but it is quite expensive. I also have a bad habit of buying coffee and/or takeout sometimes when I'm about the old town, which eats into costs a lot over time.

 

[Guffe]

Last I had was a snack, a banana!
Before that it was bread and coffee
Nothing special, going to go make myself a cup of coffee this very moment.
