    This is absolutely a real thing. I had a calorific breakfast sandwich for breakfast this morning, a diet coke for lunch, it’s been 8 hours, not close to hungry yet. My kids think it’s odd, that I should be hungry at lunch regardless but I think that’s the way appetite is supposed to work, they just haven’t quite stopped growing yet.

    That’s why people will see a skinny person eating a whole pizza and think “WTF”? They don’t see that the person is then full until next day lunchtime or whatever.

    My husband says if you push past that and eat (he bulked once) that your appetite adjusts and you get bigger and hungrier. But bodies generally want to sort of stay the size they are, so don’t signal “eat, dammit!” if you have funded it enough to maintain.

      Just looked up some serving sizes, etc, at some of the most famous cheesesteak places in philly. This will be around 2500-3000kcal. Honestly not as high as I thought. I was thnking a 12" philly would be around 2000-2500kcal, and turns out they are like 1000-1250kcal less.

        yeah not too bad! getting your daily calories in a single meal doesn’t sound super healthy but i guess if you’re satiated for a whole day afterwards, it’s kinda alright ^^

        unless it was one of those oreo shakes from Baskin Robbin’s
