    As one of those that easily destroy an XL pizza in one go… why is that terrifying?

    I Mean, overall I don’t eat all that much… I never eat breakfast and very rarely eat lunch, so one or two meals a day for me (historically a very active person) has to be large to make up for the times I don’t have time (or want) to stop and eat. So it takes at least a large pizza or like two boxes of Mac & cheese to even come close to refilling my fuel tank.

      You just described how it works! People get mixed up on calorie intake. I’m scrawny, but when I eat, I eat. No calories other than beer at night. Not a Coke, not a single pork rind, not even a Jolly Rancher. Nada.

      So people see that and think, “Gosh! Wish I had a metabolism like his!” Nah. I just don’t eat in between meals.
