Have you tried 30 to 40 olives? you surely won't regret eating 30 to 40 olives.

[–] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I recommend pairing 30 to 40 olives with a glass of whiskey type alcohol. A common dinner of my late 20s, and now the snack/dinner of my aging 30s... You surely won't regret it. ...won't regret it... ...regret it... ◕_◕

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did someone say Dirty Martini?

[–] Master@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Without the vermouth this is not as good as you think... just vodka and olives olive juice is mildly disgusting. Not enough to pour it out but enough that you dont it again the same week.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

did I say drop the vermouth?

also, vermouth is filth and you should totally drop the vermouth.

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I have yet to regret eating 30 to 40 olives.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 months ago (3 children)

OR (hear me out), how about an entire sleave of saltine crackers?

Saltines are so boring. I would definitely prefer a sleeve of Thin Mints, Oreos/Hydrox, or chocolate chip cookies!

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

Ehh, chocolate makes my throat feel sticky. Saltines just make me thirsty.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are you calling me out? This has (so far) been my dinner.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Saltines are delicious

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Handful of cereal chased by milk straight from the jug. Repeat until I've consumed more than I would have if I'd just had a bowl.

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I have an unusual problem, and i'm too light for my height. The weird is that I'm already eating butter, cheese, cookies, pizza etc. All the guilty calories. (Except icecream which I somehow don't like wtf.) So i'm on a quest to pound more. I somehow just burn it all puff - gone, on top of eating a meal twice a day.

[–] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't often find a harmless comment that I absolutely despise.

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean? I'm actually worried of my cookie, cheese wheel and bun supply isn't enough... Gotta eat more, the cells ain't happy.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

"Haha I eat what I want when I want and it doesn't stop me from being tall and thin- wait why is everyone jealous?!?!??"

I find that most people with this mindset don't think their habit of cross country marathons and rockclimbing is worth mentioning in context.

[–] JATtho@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I actually don't have a exceptional physical strenght/fitness, and a 1km walk is too long. I honestly have no idea why I have this "issue", and it worries me. I mosty sit programming and watching Youtube, so either the brain or the occacional heavy use of legs burns it all. (I burnt 2kg of my weight while on a festival this year... Drinking beer and electrolytes.. And my 2nd priority was to eat there. o__O)

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago

The reality is that everyone's metabolism is basically the same, unless they have a parasite or metabolic disorder. If it actually worries you, track your calorie intake exactly for a month or two.

If you're taking in 3k a day and still losing weight, yeah, there's something going on and you should consider asking a doctor.

If your definition of forcing yourself to eat is 1.5k a day you just have a low appetite. Enjoy?

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Stop speaking. Just... Goddamn.

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Same here, I have an overactive thyroid gland slash grave disease. Have your thyroid tested?

[–] Damage@feddit.it 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They also make cheese in unshredded variants

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (3 children)

But where’s the fun in that? I want to enjoy my cheese confetti.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Make America Grate Again

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Because then you get to cut very thin slices because it's kind of fun to do and they sort of melt on your tongue, and surely that way you won't eat as much as if you were eating "normal-sized" slices, right ?

Cut to me staring at a plate filled with hundreds of tiny pieces of cheese crust, who obviously ate the entire fucking block of cheese in one sitting

[–] Portosian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Counterpoint: The little wheel and wire thing that shaves off bits of cheese is deeply satisfying to use

[–] CheddarBiscuits@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)
[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Im not, it's always cheese

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

Me too…. Though its been a minute since ive done egregious things as snacks in the wee hours

~~spoon~~ celery stick of peanut butter.

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Awesome, I don't feel like a weirdo. Not that I cared. But I'll wake up at 3 a.m. and eat peanut butter, Drizzled with honey.

[–] shuzuko@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

Peanut butter honey toast is the best goddamn snack

I am literally eating it right now as I type this and could not be happier

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Which did you choose? Peanut butter with a glass of whole milk would be my choice. Or perhaps some carbonated water, various cheeses, grapes, and crackers.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It’s always the cheese.

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

I'm here hungry at 3am... What am I doing with my life. I feel like 3am is the most philosophical hour of the day

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

How Dare you call me out

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I asked Google AI and it recommended spackle instead of either. It sticks to the ribs.

[–] skye@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Why would anyone go through the torment that is a spoonful of peanut butter? I'd rather eat sand

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're missing out, but more peanut butter for me.

[–] skye@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

good trade honestly

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm clutching this jar of chunky JIF like a life preserver. Protein ends depression, didn't you know.
