how much are you eating

[user 6493]

I can't speak for anyone else but my calorie intake is dropping,this social distancing is going to be the best diet I have ever been on,,,,,,,,my calorie intake is down by about 50%

 

[DrHenley]

Same here. And it's not a conscious choice to eat less either, odd. I've dropped a couple of belt notches already.
Last year when I was home bound with neck and shoulder problems I gained weight.

 

[lonewolf]

heck, its only been two weeks, we are still eating normal sized meals and normal food.

 

[user 6493]

I ate 2 small meals yesterday,some lunch and supper with no picking in between and like you I ate what I wanted it just was not much

 

[Frozen Tundra]

I'm packing it on... working from home, and having food readily available has been a bit of an issue for me! One of the guys from work, who is also working from home, told me he put on the Covid-15. I have a load of firewood to cut this weekend, so that should help a bit...

I'm still eating as before,aint gaining or. Lossing. Weight,ànd. My dog is still a fat. lil piglet.

 

[DrPrepper1]

I am working from home and I am packing on the pounds as well. I can't wait for my gym to open back up!

 

[Celeree]

Guess the stress of it all has me not eating as much, dropped some pounds already. Like I was doing intermittent fasting without trying.

 

[Maverick]

Our eating habits haven't changed at all.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Nothing has changed for me. Since I'm home alone I don't feel like eating as much as when the wife is here.

 

[KateMTx]

We aren't sharing food at work anymore so I'm probably eating less. Before this all started I had stopped eating any kind of cake, cookies, donuts, or candy and that hasn't changed. Pretty much I'm only eating what I cook, no meals out, no food from coworkers.

My doctor advised me to drop from 210 pounds to 180. Since work closed down because of CoVid paranoia, I’ve been eating less junk food and I’m close to the target range weight.

 

[Helen Back]

Good job Jayson. Push ups and sit ups every day..

Great thread, GG, my wife and I were just having this conversation last night. We have been working out for at least two hours a day and aside from a protein shake, only eating one meal for the day, at night. Neither of us are feeling hungry, despite the intense workouts and working for 10 more hours a day around the house. It seems, by most everyone else's posts that you are on to something. Like animals scattering before an earthquake, it seems humans also have some subconscious reactions too. Seems our food preps have doubled! Yay!

 

[Brent S]

I’ve gained two pounds in three weeks. Honestly I’m surprised it’s not much more. I’ve been cooking a lot more than I used to and making really good dishes that take more prep time than normal. So it seems like I’m on a cruise and getting ready to eat again every time I turn around! The majority is healthy food luckily. I can’t say I’m not enjoying it though. So far I haven’t touched the main prepping supplies. Really don’t want to try those freeze dried meals to be honest....

 

[BugOutHive]

We're more paranoid about deliver, so it feels like we're eating the same amount, albeit healthier since we usually don't keep too much greasy stuff in the house.

 

[Dani]

i'll admit even though I have been living the same life as normal so cooking basically the same. I have been adding in some sweets during this crisis. Like with cookies mainly. . . I know hunny has a sweet tooth and will add in some when he goes shopping. I normally dont like to eat sweets often but on occasion. Hoping this will curve his appetite of buying his chocolate covered graham crackers.

 

[tmttactical]

I eat one meal a day. I have eliminated all junk food and sweets. I now eat a salad with my meal. Snacks are Ritz crackers - with or without peanut butter - string cheese. Weight is about 175 lbs and I want to get down to 165 lbs. I want my body to become accustomed to a very low carb diet. If we should get a food shortage (hoping not) then I don't want to go thru any carb withdrawal issues. My one big vice is coffee and I don't plan to give that up, ever !!! I will probably die with a coffee cup in my hand.

 

[recon503]

mmmmm Coffee,,,,, known as christian crack!!! lol Im addicted too....

 

[Proud Prepper]

We are eating the same good south Louisiana food we have always eaten. We have used a few canned vegetables in our stews and soups that normally would have been fresh. As soon as the garden starts producing, that will end.

Are the strawberries coming in yet down there?

 

[Jayson]

I have eliminated all junk food and sweets.

My doctor advised me to minimize my chocolate intake, mainly because of the caffeine and saturated fats.

“Sure thing, Doc. So what should I do with the 1,000 pounds of Hersheys that I’ve hoarded?”

Trade it for toilet paper.

Ponchatoula strawberries are the best

 

[Gennadievich]
