Question

How much do you eat a day?

RJGraveyTrain · Accepted Answer

It depends on the day, I have a very fucked up appetite that is largely impacted by my emotions (primarily stress levels) and I go from either never being hungry to being always hungry - I rarely have a middle ground or an in between.

Lately I haven't been eating a lot because I have almost no genuine appetite, and the few times I do get "kind of" hungry it's at an inconvenient time where I'm working or when I'm no where near any kind of food, so I've gotten back into the bad habit of compensating with coffee. I mean a prime example is what I ate today: I had an avocado for breakfast, and two veggie dogs wrapped in butter lettuce with mustard and two cookies - and I only ate the cookies because a coworker gave them to me.

It isn't at all intentional, I've been this way for as long as I can remember and I'm constantly trying to correct it by pre-making breakfasts and lunches for myself during the week, but in times of high stress/when I'm overloaded with work and other things (like I am now) I very rarely prioritize such things over the daily obligations I partake in.

When I'm actually dieting properly my caloric intake bounces between 1,200-1,700, sometimes 2,000 depending on what I'm eating and how hard I'm working out. I try to keep a diet of lean protein/supplements (I don't eat a ton of meat), lots of fruit and veg, whole grain/wheat carbs, limited sugars and processed foods, etc. If I had to judge how many calories I've been eating lately I'd guess about 1000 at most. Lol.

Hmm, I don't know exactly how much in calories, but nowadays I eat rice 2-3 times a day and have meat in almost every single meal, complemented with some kind of vegetable as much as possible. I also have soup maybe every other day, so I consume less solids then, but in terms of meat to vegetable and rice ratio, it typically looks like this:

Of course the kind of meat and vegetables vary by meal; it could be two kinds of meat in one meal - chicken and fish for example, but their portions combined will look something like that. And then I just have some fruits for dessert if I feel like it, usually more of that in the morning though.

Oh, and these past few days I have been mindlessly snacking on junk food in between meals. =.= Got me some raisins, so I'll at least be snacking on healthy food.

How about you?

I don't pay attention. From what I can gather by reading the comments, not so much comparably. Though that's mostly because I'm just lazy to go prepare it. If something can be grabbed and eaten right away, sure. If I have to peel it and what not then nah...

jayjay16 · Answer

I'm suppose to eat 1300 calories... I'm lucky if I can get to 1000 ( unless it's days I eat pizza)... I usually eat between 500-850 a day, and I can never get enough protein because meats make me feel sick. but I eat a lot of fruits and salads, toast and quesadillas and somtimes eggs, pastas, potatoes.. I get full real fast
