So what do you get when you combine the ability to eat at any time and quantity you desire with the "eat less more often" mantra? Apparently a complete fuckup :|

Working from home, I started making smaller meals and eating like 4-5 times a day. I also picked up on snacking/coffee/tea (mostly healthily) inbetween as well. So I end up eating increasingly more frequently in smaller portions over the past three months. This weekend I spent 3 days going back to my old campus, hanging out with friends, eating at the school cafeteria open only 3 times a day, basically falling back into the "normal" life routine. And I realized, I simply cant do it!

I now need to eat ALL THE GODDAMN TIME. I'd have a big breakfast with my friends, everyone is stuffed... three hours later I am hungry again. It doesn't even matter how much or what I eat - nutritiously-vapid bowl of cereal, fatty all-american turkey with stuffing and potatoes, or protein-full egg omlette + whole wheat bread, I will be starving 3 hours later all the same.

Secondly, I never get "stuffed." I do get "satisfied" and fall into major food coma if I eat too much, but Im never "stuffed." We went to the Korean place where I inhaled probably a whole day's worth of calories and fat in a form of a huge plate of BBQ pork, tofu-egg soup, veggies and bowls of potato, rice, etc. side dishes. I expected to be barely able to walk but nope! I was completely fine. And again, three hours later...

It's honestly ridiculous, especially when I compare to my friends or to when I was student at my campus - eating normal or big meals 3-4 times a day and never worrying about it again until the next one. It's actually gotten to a point where it kinda impacts my productivity; I cant just eat lunch with my friends and hang out for several hours after, or even work my job for a reasonable period of time without the hunger pangs kicking in halfway through. And you know the "dont eat 3 hours before sleep" thing? Yea, either I latenight snack or I go to sleep starving...

Now the question is, is it just all mental thing that I screwed myself into and need to get out of the pattern ASAP? Or is my metabolism really that good and I should take it as an open invitation to just eat whatever the hell I want whenever I want cause my body can process it?

(as a side note, I am not overweight (tho I used to be) at 134lbs 5'5''. My life is uber-sedentary with both my job/hobbies involving sitting at the comp, which is why I make it a point to go on a (fairly intense) 45min bike ride some 3-5 times a week, and maybe do some lifting once or twice a week (tho I haven't seen much muscle or strength increase except my legs) ).

Thoughts?

You could also get your stomach removed. Or start smoking. Or eat a bag of rapid hardening cement.
Or find another way to fill that hole in your heart. After all eating isn't the only way to satisfaction.
