"All You Can Eat Buffet" ... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)1 year ago

When dining at an "All you can eat Buffet" how many times do you refill your plate, do you go for seconds, third servings or even four servings. How big is your appetite and how much can you put away? Oh, let's not forget the dessert!

i def. dont get my money's worth, i only get mashed potatoes, bread roll, taco n maybe a side of something. my hubby goes back for 3rds and 4ths and 5ths, we stay there for a couple of hrs. he even has time to make a deposit to the porcelain god so he can refill. lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

"deposit to the porcelain god" LOL Ahhhh so your husband really gets his money's worth.

 

myLot reputation of 90/100. mgmagana (2439)  1 year ago

I've never actually been to an "All you can eat Buffet", but I would like to someday hopefully. I don't want to gain any weight right now so I am picking at food like a bird. Thus, if I went right now, I wouldn't eat much and there would be only a small helping of healthy food on my plate.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

So healthy food and I guess no yummy dessert, huh? happy


myLot reputation of 63/100. Redtape2 (663)  1 year ago

Yep. That's sad isn't it?:(


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

You must have good will power, I would be cheating now and then and sneaking in a few treats.

I always eat just one meal a day so a Buffett is my best bet actually.
I start with one plate of just sald items. Then a plate of fruits etc
after that. Then one sometimes 2 plates of the meat and taters part of
the meal. Of course a few servings of breads and or rolls all followed
by two dessert choices usually.

In my area they are closing a lot of these places down. Are their many near you?


myLot reputation of 95/100. webeishere (12394)  1 year ago

Quite a few actually.
I think within a 10 mile drive I have maybe 6 or more.

I usually get a salad first, then one more plate with a little bit of several things but no dessert for me these days except maybe the sugar free fat free ice cream.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

Everyone needs to watch that sugar, we don't need the extra weight. Thanks. wink

I don't like going to them. But I get out voted and we go. I get two plates one with salad and then chicken and mashed patotes and a veg. Now I have watched my roommate and it is scary how much food he can put away. I now bring a book with if my son doesn't go. As I'm ready and he is still eating. He can eat 3 to 4 plates and that is on a bad day. w00tIt pays for him to go. And he is tall and thin. Me the one who eats right. Short and fat. How rude is that. But hey I guess that is what happens in my family. Younger all thin we hit 45 we get fat. w00tI'm working on it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

Oh just wait, when he gets to our age his body will probably change. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. onlydia (1609)  1 year ago

My roommate eats that not my son. My roommate is 46 that is just so wrong. All's he does is eat. I still waiting for him to get fat. Been waiting almost two years now. and still just gained a little. As I took him in when he was homeless so was really thin. His waist was 29 inch now up to 33 to34 inch and stopped gaining. w00tWish that was me. raspHave a great night.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

Ahhh you took him in when he needed help, that is so sweet of you. You will be rewards for all your kindness. Your special!


myLot reputation of 98/100. onlydia (1609)  1 year ago

Yes I alway's bring home stray's not animals but people. I alway's have. I feel bad for him still. No matter how hard he tries he alway's gets laid-off. So back to him finding a job. works for a temp place now. He is a hard worker they hated to lay him off at my job. But cuts had to be made. There are a few people that are still trying to get him back in. I miss him there but I told him if he get a chance to get a job somewhere else take it. As my company is not stable right now. You Have a wonderful day. Went on a little bit. your friend onlydia

6. myLot reputation of 98/100. roniroxas (5937)   1 year ago

i prefer buffet for breakfast or lunch, for i dont eat that much during dinner. on a buffet i eat slowly so i can makes sure i can taste everything that is served there. i get a little portions of everything so i can say that i do the tasting of everything up to the second refill. and the third one i go for what i like most on what is served. then the fourth is the dessert. dont get me wrong.... i am not the kind who over flows the plate. lol.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

Hahaha I like your method. I have to try that. lol

7. myLot reputation of 97/100. change1life (1163)   1 year ago

I usually get a good full plate the first time so I don't have room for seconds and I very rarely go for dessert. My husband almost always goes back for seconds, but I don't recall either of us ever going for thirds. Be Blessed!


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

I think a lot of us today can afford to skip the desserts. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. change1life (1163)  1 year ago

I know I can, and sometimes I would do well to skip the buffet! LOL!

Food is the last thing I want to think of right now since I am so full. hahaha When at a buffet I always get foods that I don't normally fix at home and I only get one plate of food. I also get more than one dessert but just a small amount of about two or three at the most.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

It is good to try different foods at the buffet. We get so tired of cooking at home the same old dishes.

I never get my money's worth at an all you can eat buffet. I had a gastric bypass, so I can only eat a kid's plate. The most I can hold is 8 to 10 ounces of food, before I am very full. I will load my plate with a little bit of everything I want to taste, and then I also get some sugar free blueberry pie with a tad of soft serve ice cream on top.. and I end up throwing almost half of my food away because I can't eat it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

I know someone who had the same surgery and she eats very tiny amounts now. She now avoids places like this, she feels it's not worth it for her.

Oh no! Not the buffet!

I am a real hog at buffets, howard, but only because I'm SO cheap!! I refuse to leave without getting (and eating) at least three full plates of food so that I feel like I get my money's worth. I eat entirely too much at those things.

My favorite buffets are the Chinese buffets.


myLot reputation of 87/100. CurlyRed (3474)  1 year ago

I love chinese buffets too, trans, esp, the Mandarin


myLot reputation of 96/100. howard96h (5694)  1 year ago

I love the Chinese one's too. I am getting very hungry right now.


myLot reputation of 98/100. lilybug (15322)  1 year ago

I love Chinese Buffets. I usually get the buffet to go at a Chinese place because I can fit more in the container than I can eat in one sitting.
