Do you eat for volume or taste?

[sonnydfrizzy]

I personally don't crave foods, just feeling full lol

A mixture of both. I want stuff to taste good but I also want to be full.

When I bulk I focus more on taste since I dont really have trouble with hunger at 3k+ calories.

[FunkymonkAW]

"Yes"

[desslok]

Depends. If I am not really that hungry, then for taste. As Anton Ego says, "if i don't like it, i don't swallow"


But sometimes I like to get super starving and then tear into whatever food is near like a rabid tasmanian devil.

[boo99]

taste?
what's that

volume crew as well here

[wlodarczykn]

volume

[ZMan45]

Used to be mainly volume, but realized it's a goal I'll never truly reach. Now I just eat what I like mainly whether it be broccoli or super fatty alfredo sauce (or both at the same time)

[InspecktaDeck]

Food: for volume
Ass: for taste

[nicholina]

taste, but more so caloric and nutrient density...I hate feeling full.

I feel like either dieting down once in your life or tracking macros wrecks people in terms of satisfaction after a meal.
Dieting down --> restrict food --> create drive for food that never really goes away
Tracking macros --> hitting calorie/macro goals --> drive to not have to stop at calorie/macro goal (so still restriction)

My friends can eat a burger or two from McDonalds at 5pm and not eat for the rest of the day. If that were me, I would seriously go bat wild lol

Best satiety food? Oats.

You are right. Once you view food as a means to reach a goal you cant really look at it the same way you did before.

I wonder if anyone has ever been able to "forget." Lol.

That would be nice.

Maybe when you reach an age where you simply dont care about your physique as much.

People can change, takes some practice.

Got off on a tangent researching okinawan diet and that eating until 80% full thing got in my head. If I just had some reference of what 80% felt like

I wonder if anyone has ever been able to "forget." Lol.

That would be nice.

IDK about forgotten but I think it can be replaced. I like to eat good food, but try to use vegetables to extend meals in enjoyable way, and pair ingredients that are enjoyable toghether. I mean in a nutshell that is cooking. I mean you look at good soup, most of it's half or more veg, beans etc.

I'm not spending the rest of my life eating a bale of hay trying to fill the void. LMAO thing is like a black hole.

[ErikTheElectric]

I eat for pleasure.

[sonnydfrizzy]

I eat for pleasure.

*Looks at sig*
Volume it is for E lol


Don't get me wrong, I eat foods I love. But if you said "cookie or ice cream?" I would have to say ice cream not because it tastes better per se, but because it would take longer to eat and fill me up more (but both are delicious).

Personally, it depends on the scenario and what type of food is being consumed (along with the quality). If it's cake at a party, I couldn't care any less and will likely demolish half of it.. if it's fine expensive chocolate.. I'm going to savor every bite.

[gbullock32]

Both, depends on mood/time.
