There is one thing I never get fed up of. I have had this food for many years now, mainly for breakfasts. It keeps me satiated for at least 8 hours.

My breakfast during the week consists of fine oats, skimmed milk, seasonal fruit like strawberries, raspberries or/and blueberries, almond flakes, walnuts, pecans or pecans.

This combination contains enough vitamins and proteins to cover the needs of a human being for one day.

That would be my to-go comfort food anytime. I am not that much into sweets or salty stuff and certainly no junk food or snacking between meals.

It depends.

Chinese will always be my go to. Especially for stress. Chicken and broccoli and if I'm sad, I get the boneless spare ribs too.

If I'm like totally pissed, I'll get something I can bindge eat. Something way bigger than I could possibly finish before a state of rage is over. Like the family size order of chicken strips at Popeyes. Or a gigantic plate of choufa de Pollo. This place I go to knows to make mine with 2 whole chickens 😂 then sometimes when I need to rant about something, I go to the chicken spot I worked at in highschool and the owner throws dark meat to me while I rip about something. If it's real bad I'll just walk in the back and drop clam strips in the fryer

If I've had a rough day at work, or any day at work, or any day at all, hopefully I've got chocolate, snacks or icecream in my fridge 😄

Fortunately for my health I usually make my evening meal when I arrive home, or after a little rest, because I restrict the amount of chocolate, cookies etc. that I buy.

I'm very rarely stressed or feeling down, but if I am, I usually like to visit somewhere interesting, it might be only a few miles from my home, but the activity takes my mind off whatever is upsetting me.

I do not eat when I am feeling depressed. Instead, I exercise to clear my head and find a way to solve my depression by addressing and correcting whatever caused it.

For me, it’s a big bowl of Japanese ramen or a simple plate of cacio e pepe 🥢🍝

Ramen reminds me of a tiny shop in Tokyo on a rainy night, steam fogging the windows while I slurped rich tonkotsu broth. Cacio e pepe takes me back to Rome, late trains and empty wallet, but a perfect peppery, cheesy pasta that felt like a hug on a plate.

you know whats good? My wife will make me a bowl of Pastina if i am feeling sick or just tired. Just cook it up and add milk and butter.

It;s Wednesday!

None. That is a weak excuse to overeat. I eat when I am hungry or not at all. Once a day usually.

[XXblack88]

I don't solve my problems with food I get physically active and go off by myself.

[Beckybooboo]

I never feel like eating when I'm down or stressed.

[Phoenix98]

A blizzard or a frosty and usually a smoke after.
