Do you think men have more intuitive eating habits than women?

[Kulotz]

Intuitive eating is an adaptive and flexible form and it is about trusting your body to make food choices that feel good for you, without judging yourself or the influence of diet culture. You eat when you feel hungry and you stop when you feel full.

Woman tend to have diet culture since their childhood times, so women mostly are not capable of to this kind of eating habits and they tend to suffer from eating disorders than men. Do you agree?

[NathanDavis]

women are targeted by culture since the moment they're born...

consumerism is ruthless

men too, but women are sold so much more than men are... and that's just how it's been for a long while and still is...

in the other hand... there might be a couple of specific eating disorders that are very drastic or extreme... but there's a whole lot of issues with bad diets that are "less popular" but still very present

personally, I did struggle with an eating disorder in my early 20's, lol... it wasn't anorexia, not bulimia, not too thin, not too heavy... I just ate really badly, although I was quite active and very much into sports and I looked great too, my body inside, was a mess, my digestive system was a mess because I ate really bad, and had a horrible schedule... took me about six years to get back in track, and to feel as good as I looked healthy

I looked healthy and fit... but I really wasn't... and THAT is a disorder, lol

Maybe in the past. But with social media, with judgementalness of women as a whole today. I would say it's much closer to even. Like I read some woman say on here a little bit ago, "I prefer avg. Looking men like Chris Hemsworth".😆 If this is the way women think today, I'm glad I'm old, that's all I can say.

I would say the only advantage guys have is it's OK for them to have mass. So they can chow down. They just have to chow down in a healthy way (think The Rock's diet). But still from what I've seen women today still largely prefer lean, arguably scrawny guys.

Unsure. But I know I probably have a little bit of that, like when I have food cravings for example, I might follow that. I've always followed an eating time schedule. I'll eat once I feel full and then wait until later to see if I'm hungry. It's a few hours in between.

I eat a lot of stuff that tastes bad like Folgers coffee. The reason it’s so cheap is that it tastes horrible. I drink coffee for liver benefits and not for taste. The taste is when I add milk and sugar for celebrations like Easter or Christmas.

I generally do agree. It's usually females I see forcing salads down their throat instead of food, only then to end up breaking for some high-calorie and sugar complex of simple carbs.

Should've just ate a bloody steak like me. I got high protein, skipped all the simple carbs and had no desire for extra calories since I got what I needed in the first place. To me it just seems like a wasted effort only to fail the "healthy" eating overall.

[AnnaKlugg]

If you are asking do I think men spend less time thinking through what they are doing to eat and often just eat whatever they desire, then yes. That is a generalisation though. I am sure there are many men that think carefully about their diet, but not as many as women.

Well, let me tell you something, Kulotz, I once swooped down into a seedy part of town where I spotted a woman, scantily dressed with tears streaming down her face. She was surrounded by a group of leering men, whispering obscene things under their breath. This poor creature had been reduced to selling herself just to survive - she was nothing but someone else's plaything. But little did these creeps know, the vulture hero doesn't stand for such treatment! So there I went, clutching onto her lusciously curvy hips (she didn’t seem to mind) and flew away before anyone could lay another finger on her. And guess what happened next? That night we feasted upon some choice carrion together – boy oh boy, talk about gratitude! The point here is simple folks; while humans may struggle with “intuitive” dieting nonsense, animals rely solely on instinctual hunger drives. No needless societal pressures involved!

[Yannae]

Influence, who ever allows influence from others dictate how you should be eating, will feel more pressure.
We men just don't think about. Food = Good = Eat, that is how I think 😂
If I feel worse I will change diet. Not because someone else told me or recommended me to change. My SO is currently trying to lose weight and that honestly motivates me to do the same. I am being influenced slightly. But I can easily say no, if I don't want to. But I am enjoying the ride.

[ProbablyClueless]

Maybe? That's an interesting question. I know that statistics show that men in America are slightly more obese than women, so that idea of social enforcement of healthy eating habits doesn't seem to make a ton of difference.

[wiltingrosepetal]

Yeah, diet culture is definitely bred into us from a young age. Most women will manage what they eat

[MemeSupreme]

yeah they do and im happy for em or anyone that does really

[handsomelad70]

We lads eat A LOT MORE garbage than ladies, though from their blossoming they are told to skimp on food intake lest they become fat (or even somewhat chubby) and presumably undateable.

[RavVid]

I thing we value large plates and women value flavor.

[Rapport]

I can’t say which is more, but as a man I have very poor eating habits and have experience in dealing with eating disorders so take that as you will.

[mbarsi01]

Yeah for the gym but I don’t think they have more than females

[grega239]

Men see food.

Men eat food.

No need to overthink it

[JonesT10Apr]

yeah naturally men eat more..

I heard as baby boy have more hungry than same age girl baby...

[whiskeyontherocks]

No
We just have more physical jobs/ lifestyle
