  • Whatever was available. My afternoon snack in highschool was a pound of pasta and a stick of butter. Were we have mashed potatoes with dinner? I’d make three pounds of potatoes and eat way more than a quarter of them. Peanut butter and jelly is relatively cheap and you can fit a lot of peanut butter in there. Quesadillas not filling that calorie craving? Add some sour cream. Had a pound of pasta for snack? Let’s do it with red sauce and sausage for dinner. Maybe I’d treat myself to a second California burrito that day. Potatoes fried in bacon fat was a favorite for a while when bacon was cheap at the carnicaria. Bake a chicken, a breast goes to the friend and I’ll eat the rest with two pounds of mashed potatoes.

    I learned to cook because I was too poor to buy as much food as I needed just to get through the day. But I could cook ridiculous portions for dirt cheap.

    That’s a great question and I wish I had an answer for you that was scientific.

    From the ages of 15 to 30 I was constantly seeking to do 6,000 calories a day to maintain being 6’2 and 135. At the age of 16 a doctor took one look at me and said “yeah you’re burning like 6,000 calories a day” It was difficult. I had all the same symptoms of anorexia like a heart condition that’s haunted me the rest of my life. I have a nephew who’s going through the exact same issue now. It wasn’t fun. But I turned 30 and I gained 50 lb in 3 years. I never felt better in my life. It was amazing!. I finally had the strength to do … life.









  • Down voted because of highly inaccurate numbers.
    YTD DOW: Up 2,674.15 (6.31%).
    YTD S&P: Up 553.57(9.43%).

    The stock market isn’t the economy. A lot of this growths is toxic and based on the idea that small companies will get destroyed by larger ones and people dumping billions into companies trusting that AI will destroy jobs and increase profits will ignoring that without customers companies can’t exist.

    Not a trump supporter but I’m also extremely against outdated data and a failure to appreciate other factors.
