How can fats eat so many calories in such short amounts of time? Alright, so I'm a very short female. I currently eat 1400 calories a day (though I suspect I should probably up it slightly soon) and I'm somewhat active (8 hours of cardio per week plus strength training).  I have no problem with what I eat. I feel perfectly satisfied, and I am not hungry throughout the day. I fit three meals, snacks, and dessert into those calories.  Anyways, what baffles me is just how many calories hams manage to shovel in their maws. Left and right, I see obeasts eating my entire daily caloric intake IN ONE MEAL. AND THEN THEY'RE HUNGRY HALF AN HOUR LATER! Just how much do these people eat in a day? How do they do it? How do you take what would last a short female her entire day, and think that's an acceptable amount to eat in one meal? (With the exception of swole bros, really tall people, or people who do OMAD, of course). What weird alternate dimension of utter gluttony do fats live in? I am editing this post, since I made an error. I do 8 hours of total exercise per week. I do 5 and a half hours of cardio. My bad.
