Eating constantly

[wambam]

I'm training heavier than I ever have and it is making me a ravenous bafoon. I am eating ridiculous amounts of food frequently. I can't keep up with myself. Are there any other "normal" people out there that eat multiple times while at work? And not just a handful of something, but actual meals? I feel a little weird and alone. Just looking for solidarity.

I eat ALL DAY LONG!

I eat a ton. I eat all day long. I am running more than I ever have, but probably still eating too much. Snacking is way too easy as a sahm :/

[Wines Not Whines]

I eat a ridiculous amount. Some of my snacks are the size of other people's meals. As long as you're not gaining weight, I'd roll with it.

I eat all day long as well, it helps keep my metabolism up.

My old boss used to refer to me as "a real hay burner". Does that answer your question?

ETA: I think that is Hoosier for "Good lord that chick eats a lot!"

LOL. I don't even know what that means, but it's hilarious.

Everyone makes fun of me at work because I am ALWAYS eating.

This is totally me and I don't start marathon training until next week.  Lord help me in the coming months!

My co-worker who orders food for the office asked me slyly about my breakfast one morning. I eat constantly, but it's mostly stuff like veggies, big salads, fruit and nuts, so I shouldn't feel so bad? I hit the ice cream at home

I had a burger topped with guacamole as a snack today. My grocery bill is nauseating

Yup, I've totally done this. And other people are like "Oh look at me, I spent $80 for two weeks of groceries." And I'm over here, like, FUCK, I spend more than that on meat for one week.

Marathon training was the pits. I went out one night with friends and consumed a burger with cheese and bacon, announced I was still hungry, and my friends asked if I had worms. :/

Same here! I snack all day! The old ladies I used to work with would get pissed cause I ate all day and was thin. Lol! If I don't eat every few hours I get low blood sugar and you REALLY don't want to see me when that happens!

Oh it's good to read this, DH competes in road bike races and is super slim. 6'3" and 175, he eats like a machine or a high school guy. Our grocery bill is crazy. I am a huge eater too and sure it will just go up now that I am marathon training. We traveled with our friends over spring break and they were shocked by the massive amounts of food we put down. I typically eat three meals and two snacks a day.

I eat constantly.

Last week I felt like such a tool, because there was a girl in my office working on one of my computers and while she was in there (2 hours or so) I ate a full meal and 2 snacks. lol

She probably thinks I have some kind of disorder.

[wambam]

2 full breakfasts today - 2 hours apart LOL

[zoidberg]

Second breakfast is a real thing! I always have second breakfast. And then mid-morning snack. And pre-lunch snack.

(Except this week since I am not working out)

I eat constantly, to the point that people regularly comment on it (which drives me crazy, even though they typically mean it to be a compliment, as in "how can you eat so much and still be thin").  But I work out really hard and I'm super active, so I really am always hungry.  I tend to be an all day grazer, which actually works for me, because if I let myself get to the point where I'm starving then I will make unhealthy choices.  I figure if I'm hungry, I should eat.  So I do.
