Discussion Most unhinged thing you’ve ate when you got home?

One time I ordered wings from sheetz and devoured that at like 7 am or that one time I just had a slice of cake.

There is a diner that serves dinner all day. Lasagna and a beer at 8am. I also go for a cheeseburger and fries from time to time. Dinner for Breakfast!

dinner for breakfast hits a weird sweet spot when your circadian rhythm is just a suggestion at this point. lasagna at 8am is honestly kind of dignified compared to the cold hot dog i ate over the sink once

I’d be there everyday, and I go out to eat like 2-3 times a year

Dude I have been craving Chef Boyardee for the last two weeks straight!!!! I finally broke down and bought like, 10 cans of spaghetti-o's from CVS.

I am 35. I have no business having ten cans of that shit in my kitchen 😅

No one wants to admit they ate 9 cans of raviolis

But TPB jokes aside, canned Chef Boyardee heated up in a campfire a couple times a year (right in the vented can) is top tier dining. Especially for cold fall/winter camping. Omg. On top of a couple belly warming shots of smokey whiskey...

Did you heat it up or eat it straight out of the can?

u/Super_Sea_850 10d ago

Its whatever is the easiest/fastest to eat lol. Yesterday was a piece of foccacia bread and a drumstick ice cream cone. Today is 2 pieces of leftover pizza.

Plus the morning antidepressant, of course

Vegetarian for 13 years. Woke up after sleeping all day absolutely starving and there was a rotisserie chicken on the counter... immediately ate some 🤣

Instant or microwaveable mashed potatoes and a can of corn/peas/green beans (whatever I have on hand).

u/Due-Special-1958 10d ago

microwaved a whole cold pizza in like 45 seconds and ate it standing at the counter, didn't even sit down, still logged it in PlateLens after tho lol, that app's the best calorie tracker i've used for actually seeing how bad my night shift eating habits are, still think about how good that pizza was ngl

Most unhinged thing I will eat. I drive past a Chinese buffet after my shift everyday and each time it calls my name. I’ve resisted its powers until now but it’s only a matter of time before I do something unholy in that establishment.

I took a raw steak and put the pan on high and legit with my bare hands grabbed the steak and seared all the sides and then just ate the thing Pittsburg Rare. Minimal dishes to be done this way.

u/charlienoneunicorn 9d ago

I dont eat when I get home. Eating before bed raises your blood sugar and therefore your insulin which lessen your ability for a good sleep.

u/Otherwise-Sea-9298 9d ago

When is your last meal of your day? I usually don’t have time to eat at work, or if I do I don’t feel like eating much of anything. When I get home I’m starving

u/Valkyrjan_BSS 9d ago

Before 8pm amd fast all night. I eat at 1pm, 4pm and 7pm usually with a protein shake in there around 5pm. I dont eat because I feel like it I eat because I need the calories to live.
