How much do you eat ~ Am I a freak?

I eat a lot as well - maybe not quite up to your standards though Kerry!!  I would have had half the steak, 1 small roll with lots of butter, a bit of salas and a bite of potato.  Could have eaten some dessert 45 mins later as well.  Probably would eat more steak that night as a snack.

As for breakfast, I usually just have 2-3 coffees with whipping cream and a protein shake.  Sometimes I have toast or cheese and crackers with it.

No I couldn't eat all that, but I think I eat a normal sized meal. I eat a low carb burger for lunch and a sausage egg mcmuffin (minus the top muffin) for breakfast. I think I eat healthy sized meals.

I'm in awe of your freakishness! Some days I can eat like that...well, not quite like that, but close. I still fill up on protein before I try sides like salad and taters and nix the bread. Rarely do I eat desserts unless it is sf pudding or occasional ice cream. But to eat a full dinner and then a huge breakfast? Nope...not in this new DS life of mine. It's funny how some days you feel like a garbage disposal and other days you can barely stomach food.

 I could not eat all that, but I also feel like I can eat a lot compared to other DSers. At your stage, I can see being able to eat that much.

I don't know what it is but I eat wayyyy more than I thought I'd be able to. I think its the metabolism or the fact that things just go thru us faster or something but I can eat like there is no tomorrow :P Good thing is I still lose weight. Someone told me the more you eat the more you lose and I found it to be true. Just make sure to eat DS friendly.

OK, I'm jealous.

I bet that's really what you wanted all along, right?

Hi Kerry My friend,
I am so glad you posted this.  

Almost always for breakfast these days I have chopped ham friend in some melted butter on the stove, 2 eggs, and tons of melted cheese and about 4 cups of coffee with heavy whipping cream.

I am alarmed with how much I can eat too.

I worry that I'll gain weight back.

Almost any carbs KILL me intestinally and gas wise.  AND:  If I eat too much the gas bothers me too. 

I fluctuate between 149 and 154 pounds now and stay there.  I try to walk on the treadmill at least 3 x weekly at Anytime Fitness at 3.8 mph and 6 or 7 incline burning from 300-500 calories per exercise time.

I have great anxiety about regain.  It bothers me a great deal.  I realize that I am out of my "weigh loss" window, and into maintaining.

Funny, I always thought I'd be happy if I coudl just get to about 170 and stay there.  NOW:  I am going to FREAK out if I get passed 155 pounds.  :(

Oh Kerry........   I don't know, man.

You can't regard this board as any kind of disciplined test group, but it's hard to avoid the impression that the DSers who eat more lose more and lose it faster.

I could eat just as much.  On a good day, possibly even more.

And then I'd be hungry 2 hours later.  LOL

UMMM

Let's both be freaks at other ends of the range?  deal?

I am 2 years out and it take me 45 mins to eat 3 eggs scambled and drink a large coffee.

I ordered dinner at a resturant this week. Pan grilled fish and fries.   I took an hour and ate about 1/3 of the fries and most of the fish.

Anyone else out there at 2 years or  so like me?
