MyFitnessPal had a problem with anorexic using the app to compare their disordered eating in competition. From there it went downhill fast.

I do a yogurt Smoothie (130 cals) and a cup of black coffee for first breakfast, then a carnation breakfast essentials or a muscle milk protein shake for second breakfast.

It hits my protein goals (super important- I have a very physically demanding job) but it costs more than eating garbage (or pure carbs which I can’t afford to do for my health).

I have no idea. It’s monstrously large so that might be why.

I was buying them and eating half of one for breakfast but with like no protein and no redeeming qualities beyond “not hungry” and “taste good” I knew it wasn’t a real option. But my point here wasn’t “this is what I do,” my point was, “people are being disingenuous when they pretend it’s not a real option many people are taking.”

I work 12 hour shifts. I do meal prep of curries or stews and that makes a good, cheap meal, but the storage required to freeze 3 meals worth of meal prep for 4 days of work… plus the time it consumes in making and properly cooling and storing those meals… it’s not a luxury many people have. Convenience options are very appealing for many reasons and there’s this place where “I have to spend at least a day a week planning for work, preparing and putting away food in order for it to be healthy” yoyos around to, “I don’t make enough to buy healthy convenience food.” If I had kids I’d never be able to prep like I do. Hell, it’s difficult as it is!

I’m the wrong person to answer this. I react badly to eggs (just know it’s gastrointestinal and unpleasant) and I have oral allergy syndrome (specifically bananas).

Love hot sauce though!

I had a hard time arguing against Sam’s Club muffins for breakfast.

For less than $6, I can have nine 710 calorie muffins. But the cost to my health to eat that much pure sugar with extremely little nutrition and like zero protein?

But that’d breakfast for 9 days for less than $7 (including tax.)

People who say eating healthy is cheaper if you’re willing to spend the time have never been to Sam’s Club.

10/10 name! Are you a Name Rater?

I’m a pokemon breeder. You never get to fight me because I’m always telling you whether there’s an egg or not, but if you got to see my perfect IV, perfect EV, perfect nature team, every single one is shiny.

And a side effect of all that needless effort is that I’m frickin loaded.

My appearance is the Alolan girls’ (braids, cowboy hat, overalls).

Need a better, less kinky name for me though.

The demon core doesn’t really scare me because at least everyone there knew about the potential for harm.

I’m in awe of the pylons.

Your name implies a bias toward the lack of value with regard to the well-being of the modern anus.

Yes! Exactly! That guy is a prick!

I hope Davy is fulfilled and happy with his choice of career and he really needs to stop putting bread in The Piano Man’s Jar!

Yes. Exactly.

The thing is, the guy? The character of The Piano Man? He’s a fucking dick! He spends the entire song singing about every single person in this bar, boiling them down to one or two of their least desirable traits- which, by the way, he’s obviously been playing at this bar long enough to get to know all of them well enough to boil them down!- and then he sings about how great he is and how he’s the only joy in their miserable little lives!

I want to get the waitress who’s practicing politics, the men sharing a drink they call loneliness, the businessmen getting stoned, and we are gonna write a song called “The Piano Man is a Fucking Dick Who Thinks He’s Too Good to be Here!” Fuck that guy!

The song The Piano Man fucking sucks.

What a fantastic resource!

I love bitter coffee. And chocolate.

Just because it’s not your cup of tea (or coffee) doesn’t make it bad or wrong.

One thing I think people need to understand is that ‘Tex-Mex’ should not be considered a goddamned insult. Texas has a deep history with it’s relationship to Mexico, and Texas is fucking huge.

To put it in perspective, go look at a land size comparison of Texas and the entire UK. Texas is bigger. On it’s own.

So to expect it to not have it’s own culture and it’s own cuisine is stupid as hell. Now, if we want to discuss which we prefer… that’s a different conversation.

And to ask me if I want to live there? The answer is a resounding “hell no.”

To add to this;

The first time I played SDV was right after the death of a family member. It provided me with an insane amount of comfort.

Every time I find myself loading it up I look at my life and realize I need the peace. It’s an insanely positive influence in my life.

I’m going to be saying samosa under my breath like I’m correcting someone every time they say mimosa now. To notch humor. Made me laugh out loud.

Most of the English-speaking world has come to know the word “chai” as a specific blend of spices, rather than recognize the word “chai” as a translation of the word “tea.” Which means now, in several countries, “chai” means a blend of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and allspice. Give or take some other herbs.

So if you go to a restaurant in the US, for example, and you ask for “tea,” you’ll get plain tea. If you ask for chai, you’ll get tea with those spices.

Sort of how “pumpkin spice” is a mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and nutmeg.

I bake. I’m known for making birthday cakes for people.

I just made one November the 15th, and that night I was bombarded with “how much would you charge to bake one of these for-?”

Absolutely not. People are bastards. The instant my baking turns from “thoughtful gift” to something owed, I will be stuck with all the bullshit that entails. No thanks. Delicious, complex, mesmerizing bakes and absolutely zero strings attached thank you very much.
