I don’t even think about individual dishes anymore. Eating is about efficiency. There’s an automic calculator in my head when choosing food that maximise calories while minimizing satiation. It often leads to minimalist food choices.
A shake= how much high calorie shit can I throw in there while making sure the output doesn’t make me throw up. Blueberries and shit to make it taste good? Fuck it.
Instant ramen is good. There’s soup so it goes down easier. How many eggs and how much beef can I throw into the pot?
Potatoes need to be mashed so they’re platable and I can eat a shitload of them in one sitting or I won’t touch them.
I go to a buffet: No seafood, no chicken… calories too low. Chicken’s too hard to chew and swallow. Oysters? Fuck off. Sushi? Rabbit food. Fuck off. Pastries have high calories but how much can I stomach as opposed to pasta and loading it up with beef and sauce?
If you need calories then why are you eating potatoes??? That’s one of my favorites when I’m keeping calories in check. Three potatoes is like 330 calories.
You could eat 1.5 cups (dry measurement) of oatmeal and it’s 450 calories. You can also blend oatmeal into a powder. I have a Magic Bullet and I use the flat blade. Blend the oatmeal first, add milk/water, protein powder, and you have a lot of bang for your buck in terms of calories and the space it takes up in your stomach.
Haven’t been food shopping yet this week, scraping the barrel a bit! Also it’s just variety, I tend to eat 6 times a day so I like to vary the carb source.
Can’t you just be the cool aloof nihilist in the group. Every bunch of hipsters has one. When they argue about the issue de jur you can just say “none of it matters in the end anyway.” Viola. They leave you alone.
Also how was the racial sensitivity training all the Starbucks closed down for?
The dude pretty much taught me how to play guitar. I bought the tablature book (remember those?) for Reload when I was like 13 and learnt all about pentatonic scales and shit from that.
All the solos on Reload were super easy to play and I loved that.
