For me, it depends on the food that I'm eating, though on average I think I take about 5-10 minutes for a typical medium-sized bowl of rice and whatever dish is served. I eat slower when I'm using the computer, but I eat faster when I watch a movie. I think I eat the fastest when I'm most hungry, and in about less than 5 minutes. Other times however, I purposely like to eat slowly because I like to have the food last me for awhile.

Since you are pregnant, its obvious you would be more hungry and you should take your time and chew your food properly so that its digested good and the nutrients are absorbed properly. As for myself, I am a very slow eater…I just cant gobble my food, I feel like throwing up if I have not had it properly. Even in office when we all sit for lunch together, I’m the last person to finish my food. One good thing is that I eat very little at one go, so by the time other’s have finished, I am almost through with my own eating.

Well, I take about 20 mins, but when I'm out at diner or there's something special/ someone special over... I take an hour. The fastest will be 10 minutes, that was when I was getting late for a flight

It takes me about 20 minutes to eat everything. I have a small mouth and I don't rush, I like to enjoy my food. My hasband usually has all of his food eaten within 10 minutes. I will just be getting started and he will already be done eating. I think he just inhales the food.

I am a big fan of food,and I like eating,and you can look at me and tell I do not miss a meal lol and I am alright with that,and I am a very fast eater and I have learned to eat fast over the years,and I remember my friend timed me one time,and I ate two double cheeseburgers in like a minute,they were like holy cow,and none of them could beat that and my mom tells me I eat to fast,I always tell her I am eating like I am in the army lol since if I was I would not have much time to eat,even though I do not plan on ever going into the army.

When not in a hurry, it usually takes me about 15-30 minutes or even 40 minutes to eat my meal. I am basically a slow eater. When I am eating in a group or with my friends, I usually try to eat faster. I am usually the last person in the group to finish my meal.
