    Wait, do people eats less than at least one frozen pizza per meal? Like, I don’t get them often, but I need two to feel full.

    (I always get shit for writing about portion sizes, I’m only 70kg)

      This could be an American thing.

      I’m a big eater and sometimes feel like I could eat two cheap frozen pizzas.

      When I went to America think I finished one meal and that’s because I was hungover, haven’t eaten all day and starving.

      Their meal sizes are fucking insane.

      The meal I ate was in waffle house. It’s this danky looking chain restaurant, it has this sad looking yellow and brown colours, all the furniture is plastic and tacky, they have basic coffee and pretty oily food that is super basic, waffles, eggs toast then you got to put a load of butter and sugar on top. As it’s open all the time and cheap it is full of people at all hours and a frequent stop for drunk college kids.

      Anyway turns out it is amazing! Everyone should go.

      Here are two chefs talking about how great it is.

      Im about your weight, but a whole pizza is usually enough. More than enough if I wash it down with coke

      Are you still growing (teenager) or are very active or both? Calorie needs vary based on stuff like that, so if you’re discussing with people above 25 who are only mildly active they wouldn’t be able to burn away those calories as easily. Our base metabolic rate slows down too.

        I’m around 30, actually. I used to be quite active, yes, but I’ve been sitting on an injury for almost a year now and even lost weight in that time eating the same amount (I still track every meal, so’ll still be in the habit once I’m fully healed).

        Otherwise I’m healthy, even got checked for stuff like thyroid problems.
