How fast do you eat your meals? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating2 months ago

Hello everyone!
This question hit my mind and I think it's gonna be interesting to see how fast we eat our meals.

Personally, I eat my lunch for less than half an hour. I usually eat them in college while taking a break. I eat fast because I have so much things to do in college. I'd like to enjoy lunch more, though, sometimes. I hate to be eating in a rush, actually.

Oh about breakfast, maybe 5 minutes because I usually take bread for breakfast with milk.

At dinner I eat with my family. So we chat while eating our dinner, basically about our life that day. So we spend around an hour to finish dinner.

Well, enough about me. What about you?

Having dinner in front of tv must be nice, huh? I wish I could too but my mom won't let me. LOL!

When eating at the restaurant, we tend to spend more tie in our meals compare to eating at home.

I don't think eating while watching television is good for us, especially for kids. My friend always has tough time feeding her 3 year old son. He takes at least 1 hour to finish his meal. If happen he eat and watch television, he will takes up to 3 hours for his meal.


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

It's true, we eat slower while watching television. I think it's best we finish our dinner first and then at night we could have snack while watching them.:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 260 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

Oh gosh, I miss those nights when I could sit in front of the tv while eating dinner! My mom's big NO to that, so I stopped. Hahahaha lol


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

Hi aixsha, my mom has an exception, though. When a really good tv program or movie is playing and it's too good to be missed, she'll allow me. LOL! I guess mothers just care about us..

I eat much fast usually. Maybe because I'm always hungry!blush Only dinner is an exception (if I'm with my family). And I enjoy that. The ridiculous thing is that I don't get any breakfast as my plate is always full...


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

Yes dinner is the best time because we get to gather with our family and spend time with each other. It's very nice.

when i was working in the cruise line we didn`t have enough time to eat, some time we had to do it in 10 or less minutes... so i got used to do it very fast... now i have luch in 10 minutes or less... breakfast takes a little longer because i eat only fruits, so have to take the skin out, and share with my daughter. dinner time it`s only bread and tee, so depending if the tee it`s too hot or not... may be 8 minutes


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

Your dinner sound like breakfast, marcelinka. I read that tea has caffeine in it too. I think caffeine energizes your brain so you shouldn't drink them at night before sleeping. Try replacing it with milk. There are many advantages of drinking it before going to bed. Anyway it's just my suggestion.:)

I eat very fast - usually in about 5 to 10 minutes. My spouse eats slow - usually about 15 minutes per meal. That's how long it takes just to eat the food. If you add in socializing then of course the time increases. We generally have breakfast together and that takes about 1/2 hour. Same thing at supper (or dinner as some folks call it). Lunch - we don't generally eat lunch. My spouse is always telling me to slow down. I agree I should but all through college and work we only got 30 minute meal breaks - so by the time you got your food heated it up and started eating you had about 15 minutes to finish clean up and get back to work.


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

I think 15 minutes is too fast. I can't enjoy my meal very much if I have to finish a meal in about 5 to 10 minutes. In college, meals are usually served fast and no cleaning up needed after eating.

I am a very slow eater. In fact, I'm usually the last one to finish when I'm eating with a group. I initially trained myself to eat slowly for weight control and to thoroughly enjoy what I was eating. Now it's just habit and more comfortable for me. Even when I'm eating by myself I will eat a small meal at lunch (say one hamburger or a small salad or a bowl of cereal) and it will take me at least an hour. When I go out to eat with people I'll always order the smallest meal I can and still will usually leave with a "to go" box. One guy said I was sure a cheap date! He immediately apologized saying it came out wrong but I don't doubt that it cost him less to take me out to eat than his other dates.


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

LOL! I too at times become the slowest eater in the group, especially when we're eating with the guys. They have their big portions of meal yet seem to eat them all at once. I have the small portion but still, finish the last. My mom used to call me the less costly one too when it comes to food.:)

my eating time is sooo bad:D
It generally depends on how distracted I am. Usually for breakfast it takes about 10-20minutes, lunch is about 15-30minutes and dinner is 30-90minutes. Usually I'm distracted by the TV and is a really bad habit for me.
I remember when I went overseas I generally finshed all my meals in half the usual time without the distraction of a TV


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

Hi doomblaze! First post at myLot? Congratulations and welcome to myLot community.
I guess seeing from your case, eating in front of TV is bad, huh? Mainly because it's very time consuming. However, some people say that eating slowly is better for your body since you got the time to digest the food you're eating, then feel full even before your meal is over.

It's a bit of shame that these days most people eat their meals too quickly because of time constraints, myself included.
Food should be savoured and enjoyed. The feeling of fullness should happen naturally so that we don't keep eating before the stomach has had a chance to tell the brain that it's full.
I've tried chewing more often and more slowly, and it helped me eat less for a while, but then I go back to old habits.


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

Years ago my biology teacher in high school encourage us to and explain ghte benefit of chewing more and slower. all of the students try ir but in less than a day, we couldn't do it anymore. It was too odd. We became very impatient. LOL!

Depends. If i'm in hurry then i make it very fast else i go slow with food. If i'm in hurry to college or office then i hurry as fast as i can. But wit family and friends i make it fast. So you can say breakfast is fast. Then lunch is bit slow or moderate way you can say. Then at night, very slow with family.


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

Looks the same with me. I like your phrase "breakfast is fast". I believe no pun was intended, yes? LOL!

Unfortunately, I eat very fast. No matter what it is breakfast lunch dinner, I eat within 5 minutes USUALLY..
When Im out with some family at a restaurant, I eat somewhat slower, but yeah. Otherwise, I eat quite quickly.
Explains my pugginess!=)


myLot reputation of 80/100. nooveggies (188)   ranked 283 out of 5,466 in eating  2 months ago

5 minutes is way too fast. try to enjoy your meal more and eat them slowly or else your digestive system might get a problem in the long run. So i heard..
