I just read about a guy who ate a large pizza by himself, and my first thought was,"gee, I remember when *I* ate like that!" ...and then I thought about how my overall hunger and food capacity has changed as I've gotten older. I remember hearing over the years from a variety of sources that as we age, we need/want/can process less food (seems to go along with the 'sleep less' phenomenon), and I know what a struggle it is for me sometimes, trying to arrange enough clean calories w/ balanced macro-nutrients to keep my weight stable, my strength up, and my body repaired.
So the question for the older brothers is: how do you keep your nutrition together with these changes going on?
I know one important piece of the puzzle for me is digestive enzymes: my body is not a highly-efficient producer of digestive enzymes (yes, somewhat lactose -intolerant, but by no means just that), consequently, my gut empties unpredictably - which absolutely interferes with the small meals every 2-3 hours concept. Fortunately I can take enzyme supplements (like I have much room for food w/ all the supps & herbs & such :rofl. I also make some use of the 'food-combining' concept (briefly, enzymes can compete/interfere w/ each other in the gut, slowing digestion).
Gentlemen, please join in - I'd love to learn from you!
