How fast do you eat?

[Malinter 3,064]

BUT FOOD IS SO YUMMY I DONT WANT TO WAIT TO EAT IT D: Also, so eating fast allows you to overeat? That must be some kind of benefit.

 

The human brain is actually pre-programmed to over eat. Its a trait from back when early humans couldn't always be sure when there next meal was coming so they'd pig out when they could, getting fat wasn't a concern when it was more likely they could be dead within a week. Thats why saying No to someone offering more even though you know your full and that you shouldn't tends to be hard.

I'm one of those people that just never seems to get full though. I'll always say yes to more food and usually I'll always be able to stomach it. Being generous at a restaurant with me is a bad idea XD

It really depends how fast I eat. Mainly by what it is I'm eating, but also if there's anything else distracting me whilst I eat. If the TV's on, or something similar, it usually takes attention away from stuffing my face long enough for me to be considered a somewhat slow eater.

 

Or if I'm eating something that requres a knife/fork/spoon, such as steak, pasta, soups, salad, (I could go on, but I won't) It might take me longer to finish. However, if nothing's distracting me, and I'm eating "finger food" as it's called, I've been known to down it in the blink of an eye.

 

I guess it's partly to do with the size of my mouth. I remember in middle school I could shove down a hamburger in two bites. Indigestion was killer, but the pre-pubescent gazes of awe were worth it.

If I'm starving, I'll eat pretty fast.

 

If I'm not hungry, I'll eat slowly.

 

If I'm with company I'll probably eat at a normal pace so I'll finish when everyone else does.

 

It really depends.

[Glaci 119]

I don't know how I eat food like I do. 

 

I don't even eat food, it's more like I... Inhale food. Like it's an issue for me, seriously xD

 

I can't tell you how many times I've almost choked

I'm a really fast eater, I managed to finish a miniature mountain of Pad Thai in about 15 minutes. I was at a restaurant so I wasn't exactly keeping time on the minute but I finished my dish before my father finished his starter, so that's something to note

[DenialZombie 82]

It depends on how hungry I am. The military keeps me hungry. I keep myself fed. At home, I eat at a moderate pace that most people consider average.

 

At work, I do not eat; I delete food.

[JennaMarie 2]

Apparently, I eat crazy fast. I wouldn't even know I was fast if my sister didn't point it out each time we eat together. I suppose I am the first to leave the dinner table as well...

 

Big forkfulls. That's the secret

[Pomfritter 165]

If I'm eating something that I do not enjoy eating, I'll get it over with fast. Also, if I'm eating something where I know there is a lot of and I want more, I'll eat it very fast. If I have a limited amount of something that I enjoy, I'll eat it very slowly as to enjoy it.

Lol, I once ate 6 chicken drumsticks in under 2 minutes. I didn't even realise I was eating that fast. Maybe it's just because I really like chicken. ...

I have also conquered the Blazin' Challenge at BW3! (Buffalo Wild Wings, for those not in the know... or in the States)

 

Can you believe they bet me their spare pocket money that I couldn't do it? Third easiest free meal and thirteen bucks I ever won.

I used to be pretty slow when eating food, but now, I've sped up somehow... all the same, I'd say I eat at about average speed, but it varies sometimes.

[Overdrive 5,366]

I've grown accustomed to eating fast when I have to. I can polish off lunch in 5 minutes if I'm at work, but usually I eat on the slower side.

[Tom Snyder 4,112]

I'm pretty quick, when it comes to two double whoppers, i'm done within 2 minutes.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

If I'm starving at dinner, I can eat fast. But for the most part, I'm in the middle.

[Pastel 7,630]

I think I'm in the average...which is apparently the minority here.

[gone~ 614]

Compared to my brothers I'm actually kinda slow, but whenever I'm eating a meal with friends they're surprised at how fast I eat ^^;

[Magic Note 2,748]

I eat somewhat fast myself. I had a couple scares from eating too fast years ago, but now I've slowed down eating by a lot.

[Twisted Cyclone 🚓 6,261]

Depends on what I'm eating. I can eat fairly quick or super slow depending on my appetite, and size portion of the meal.

[The Pink One 595]

I'm a very fast eater , though my friends have no idea how I eat so fast and never have indigestion (or get any food spilled down my front).

[GrayTyphoon 510]

It depends on what kind of foods that i eat. When i'm not in a mood for eat, i'm slow and vice versa

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

A little something like this.

At mach 10. 

20% faster.   

...

I'll stop now 

 

Seriously though, I eat very, very quickly. 

[Lisa 5,553]

Pretty slowly. I eat like a mouse, my mum says.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,627]

This usually depends on my mood but otherwise I would say pretty average, unless I am really hungry or if my mood is bad. When I am feeling down I tend to eat a decent amount and pretty quickly while watching videos. I am almost always watching videos when I eat so that is probably why I don't eat particularly fast or slowly. This is all despite my nickname.
