USPlabs asks: WHY DO YOU EAT? Answer and Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I eat because stress eating runs in my family, and with a torn labrum in my shoulder and a torn meniscus in my knee, eating is sometimes the only way to deal with the self-pity of not being able to lift heavy or run far.
 
I eat because I like to test my limits and try and tackle some eating challenges.

Wow Bob, never cease to amaze me with these foods. Ill be making some modern pancakes with caramel cookie sticks, hopefully this week. Doibt theyll look like that, but will be good regardless
 
Bad reason: I eat because I'm bored.

I'm a lot better about this than I used to be, but for example, last night after a long day (up at 4:45 with 3 hours of sleep, gym, work, studying for class, 4 hours of class) and getting home 17 hours after I'd left, I just wanted to relax for a bit instead of going to bed. Caught up on a couple shows and ate some Cheez-Its and trail mix (aka mnm's with obstacles).

Killed a heavy chest workout first thing this morning, so I utilized those cals and carbs, but still, that's not a good habit to be in.

Keeping busy and staying on a schedule/routine has helped me tremendously at limiting my snacking. I've also found that I don't tend to do that as much when I'm with other people vs. when I'm just alone at the house.
 
^so true...

Keeping busy makes or breaks a dieting phase for me
 
I feel ya MidwestBeast when I'm home all I want to do is eat. It's all right there. But I try to limit my food intake when friends are around. Everyone knows I eat a ton so I try and not eat so much. Unless we're going out to eat then I get what I want. But at parties and gatherings I'll sample everything and that's pretty much it. I'm borderline glutton. Actually my wife's grandmother called me a glutton, she was serious too, about 9 years ago. Lol. But I was a kid and I was eating like 5-6kcal a day. Lol.

I'm really good at estimating by looking.

There's a LOT of food there...

So probably 500 calories. MAYBE 550.



Unrelated -- I posted a new thread in the weight loss forum trying to figure out why I can't lose any weight...

Oh Im sure!! But man, I love authentic gyros!! I can actually make a really good tzatziki sauce with greek yogurt. Usually use venison as the meat.
 
I always feel the need to eat when watching westerns. Chili. Hot dogs. Pizza. Anything bad.

Great question, really. Various answers- sometimes for pleasure, other times out of necessity. Mmhmm, food!

I love me some powerful yogurt man! It was in a few stores around here and then all of a sudden it was all gone and no one stocks it. But it was delicious!!!
 
I eat because companies (like USP Labs :)) keep making protein powders that taste better and better as time goes on.

Cookies are my favorite... :shock:
 
I eat because it's a moment to sit down and do something for myself. I'm. It too big on fast food or rushing to scarf something down. It helps my mental to simply sit, layout something, and simply eat and enjoy. Not everything needs to be savored like a $50 steak but I like to enjoy what's on the plate.
 
I like to eat because the dim sum posted above looks delicious, and there isn't a single freakin restaurant in my city that serves dim sum, so I want to eat as much of it as I can whenever I find a restaurant that serves it.
 
I eat because, when asked in an interview what his philosophy on life was, Bruce Lee's son said "eat-or die!" and I took it as him threatening to kill me if I didn't eat.

Well said, I agree. Sometimes, just sitting down and enjoying a savory meal does wonders for the soul.
 
One thing this thread should really remind us all of is how blessed we are to live in a country where food is so widely accessible.

So many people in this world go to bed hungry every night not knowing when their next meal will be
