I do a lot of business lunches and noticed today that everyone around me was eating pure garbage. literally every table, every person was eating a big arse hamburger or chicken fried steak, fried chicken, etc.

I was the one with the grilled chicken salad with no cheese or bacon and light dressing on the side

I also always look up calorie content before I go eat somewhere. am I in the minority here? it looks like most people don't give a shite.

I just cant imagine eating 1,500-2,000 calories for lunch like that. maybe that's why 70% of Americans are overweight

I very carefully count my chews. (mastication)

This way I can parse the number at will.

Louisiana is an at-will state.

If my rockin' bod starts looking sloppy, I will start counting calories. Until then, give my the bacon cheeseburger and onion rings.

According to Google a whopper is 650 calories, what burgers are these people eating to get 1500-2000 calories?

Agreed totally. It's total ignorance. People are absolutely unaware of how many calories = X fat.

There's a reason weight watchers is such a long term successful method. They do the counting FOR you. People are too lazy to find their bmr and then actually have the discipline to stay under it to lose weight. You enter a few numbers, it tells you you have so many point to spend and you can eat anything you want in their system. Boom. ALL you have to do is be able to ADD.... oh, and not eat more than that.

However, I can imagine eating a big mac and a large fry for lunch, because that junk is good. But you can bet your arse i'll be watching what i eat the rest of that day and the next day if i gorge like that.

I counted a couple of days, and it varied from somewhere around 4000 to 6000. I'm 5'11 180, and the internet says I should be eating like 2500 or some shite

My breakfast and lunch total today was around 3500

Not much. I'm fortunate that I don't have a weight problem, because I eat like shite. I could be in fantastic shape if I paid as much attention to my diet as I did to my workout plan.

no, I do not count calories

I would kill myself before I did

I am, however, aware of what I eat

if I eat a burger with fries for lunch, dinner will be leaner, or if I know I'm eating an unhealthy dinner, I'll eat a salad for lunch

You can eat healthy and be aware of the food you ingest without being anal about it

I watch what I eat and count calories, fat and carbs. But I'm a girl ;-)
