How much water/liquid do you drink with a meal?

[scoch]

I usually drink 1.5-2 liters worth, but i recently came to realize thats an insane amount (combined with food=not so good stomach streching) so iv been trying to tone it down to .5 liters (1 water bottle) problem is i get thirsty lol

what about you's?

[kEEnan6]

around 20oz

[nakedsnake]

usually just 1-2 cups per meal.

[Dm84]

around 20oz

X2.

[lonecrow]

I don't, except for tuna.

[tse]

1.5-2 litres is a lot per meal! Before I started watching nutrition I drank about 1 litre A DAY (which is very little I know), now I drink about 3 litres a day and about 2 glasses of water with every meal.

[ponshoe]

1 glass of water with food or a drink sweetened with splenda. I keep my water intake to 1.5-2 gallons per day.

[bookv]

I drink just enough to help get the food down, no more than 1 cup. Don't drink too much during the meal, I read somewhere it'll interfere with your enzymes breaking down the food. Drink some beforehand and wait a bit after your meal before drinking more. Keep most of your water intake to between meals.

[IWantIt]

I just ate an entire pizza and had about 4 oz. after every slice so I had 32 oz. of water with my pizza lol

[B.A.B.]

Generally between a quarter and half a litre, depending on what I'm eating.

poor scooch.....this again?

Your not filling up on major water after your meals so you get the full feeling and eat less later are you, come on its the oldest trick in the book. You'll regret doing this eventully, 120lbs and 30 years old isnt going to be very cool

not at all, its actually the other way around, i been taking down 4-5k+ a day (which is a lot/might be overkill i know) and my largest meal happens to be dinner (calorically/mass wise), want to minimize stomach streching, and maximize nutrient absorption/less night-piss trips lol

[Reid147]

I drink 1 glass of water or tea per meal, but 1 gal water a day!!

Dude, I'd like to believe you, but how on earth can you be 5'9" 118 lbs if you're eating 5k+?

started eating this much less than 2 weeks ago, i was MUCH Worse than 118 lbs 2 weeks ago.

I'd like to believe him too, but last time he told me he was eating 3k for a month, he was actually starving himself down to 107. If I had any personal access to the situation, Scoch would be on a glucose drip, I'm not sure anyone here quite realizes the severity it's escalated to.

I realize the severity. He probably should be involuntarily committed to a psych ward. I'm not sure how he's been able to get through school without anyone there calling protective services on him.

(no homo/trying to elevate the thread) thats why i said i needed the scheduled/plan for the calories

WTF does "homo" have to do with anything? And no, you don't need a plan, you need to get over that and eat whatever you feel like whenever you feel like. You "needing a plan" has nothing to do with anything, you need to eat, and if you refuse, which you are, you need to be in a hospital where they will make you eat before you DIE. As for "elevating the thread" Scoch, somehow I think your life is a lot more important than your water consumption.

[Sibrek]

lol the worst part is he even has a nutritionist who weighs him but he like binges on water right before to weigh more

Lol? I don't think it's funny. A severely disordered 15 year old in an abusive home w/ a psychologist who won't do jack **** dying b/c he won't get treatment for an ED isn't exactly lollerskates IMO.

[Sibrek]

one thing thats funny is you think you can save him...he admits its beyond logic at this point

anorexics die...thats the reality. people who cut too far and starve themselves in the process, no, but anorexics, yeah

yeah , i know how severely retarted/ignorant i am.

(sorry to bring this up again aiendras) but i just didnt understand why eating a planned 4k+ to get the weight up would be worse than the alternative, i understand/understood not counting is/would be optimal but with the other **** (parents etc, sorry to piss you off starting this again) i cant let go of the control issue

You just need to eat every goddamn thing you can get your hands on. No counting, just eat EVERYTHING!

[No Can Do]

hardly any. ever.

I don't think I can "save" him, I personally think he's a goner. I stopped talking to him on AIM b/c I realized he wouldn't listen to logic and he was probably going to die. But what I really want to know is how on earth does that make this situation funny?

because you never do stick to eating enough calories anyway so why bother counting & ^ your not going to be able to get over the control issue if you keep knowing how many calories your eating. Its ovbious you have a problem, i don't even know why we bother, there nothing wrong with counting calories but for people like you it only makes things worse.

But heck why do i or anyone else even bother, its been over a year like this with you yet here we are again. Same place different year.

Bingo. Which I tried to explain over and over again as Scoch ignored it over and over again, which resulted in my blocking him from AIM b/c it was a waste of my time and far too depressing.

[Sibrek]

Maybe my lol is my way of coping with the severe disgust I have with the entire situation, including this website being allowed to be accessed by impressionable minds...

I mean, its almost like a cult. Why should someone be allowed to tell other people how to EAT on the internet? Skateboarding tips? one thing...even a particular method of lifting weights, but eating just gets ridiculous.

And you end up with headcases such as this, people who are starving but won't eat bc they're too lost in an endless cycle of binging then cutting too much, and not even for body image at a certain point

its not so much the actual control of counting calories, (not to get too "deep" into it) but its more the feeling of control in general during other issues
