Junk Food
Filed Under Food, Random, Uncategorized
The last couple weeks I have been pondering how I never really seem to have “snacks” to eat.
Growing up my family used to have lots of junk food, whether it’s chips, candy, etc. we had something. Granted, I never was a big fan of any of it. I’m not much of a “candy” person. I’ll eat the occasional candy here or there, but left up to me I generally won’t splurge on my own to get it. It’s just not that great to me.
When it comes to meals, I’m pretty lame. I’m with supper just being a steak, just soup, just something or another. I don’t really need side-dishes or anything else, which I’m sure messes with my diet (or lack there of).
Anyway, so the last couple times I’ve been at the store I’ve tried to pick up snack-ish things So far I’ve invested in Potato Skin’s Chips, Crab Salad, a bag of Pepperoni, and Pizza Rolls. I don’t think I’m very good at this snack thing.
I do the same thing lately, I’ve got to get back on track. Maybe this is why we’re anorexic?
Potato skins.. mmmm, wise chioce.
Quite possibly.
Potato skins have to be so much healthier than a bag of Pepperonis that I’ll eat straight!
The question is: how much of this crap do you eat compared to:
1) Your metabolism
2) The real food you eat
3) The exercise you get
My story: I eat a ton of ’snack’ food, also known as ‘junk’ food. Lays Sour Cream and Onion, Cheeze Its, ect. I love the stuff. I can eat a whole bag in under 15 minutes if you let me. However, to counter this:
1) My metabolism is nuts. I’m not what you would call a calm person. My personality, my work ethic, the quick rate at which I get bored, all keep me moving some way or another. Whether it be cleaning my teeth with my tongue, bouncing my leg to the music, or my mind going nuts of some random bit of information, I’m always spending those calories, and spending them like crazy. I can literally lose weight by doing nothing than eating normally and going about daily activities because of this behavior, most of which is transparent - except for the temper!
2) When I eat I eat a lot. That includes good foods with the bad foods. If I eat a salad, its a monster, if I eat fish, its a lot of fish. If I eat vegetables or fruit, it’s a lot of fruit. Frankly, if it is there and someone else hasn’t explicitly laid claim to it, its down my hole.
3) Ok this is my downside. I exercise next to nothing, aside from wrists and fingers, possibly arm movements. However, I love to walk here at work to talk to people and when I do, you guessed it, I walk extremely fast. I just can’t stand doing anything slow, so naturally this keeps me burning calories at some point or another.
Now, I eat more than people I work with, 2-3 times as much at times, but it doesn’t show. 6′2 180lbs, which is right on body mass.
I don’t know how you little shits (don’t take this as an insult) stay so skinny, but what keeps me fit, despite my somewhat unhealthy appetite, is the fact I don’t stop. I’m like a shark or something…
I’d also like to add that a great deal of hate keeps a man in shape
you bastards with naturally fast metabolisms ruined me ;P
through sophomore year of college I played a half dozen hours of basketball every week. Then I moved in with all you people that are either naturally large (moogle) or have super metabolisms that aren’t based on any sort of activity (mike, james, kwen, luitjens), and therefore don’t f’king do anything ;P
Of course I don’t really have an excuse anymore.
Dan,
Given the chance (phone call) I’ll go “work out” with you.
Why did you quote “work out” … ummm… is that some sort of code for gay sex?
Because if it is…
er..
Oh, its code all right. But at el casa de Carl, you’ve gotta have a hammock.
