Buffets

>eat nothing for a whole day
>go to a local all-you-can-eat buffet
>eat until my stomach is distended
>remain full for the next 3 days

Am I the only person who does this? Does this make me an asshole? It just gets me a ridiculous amount of food for the price. If I'm eating out, I can't justify eating anywhere but buffets.

I love buffets but it always feels like somewhat of a waste cause I can't eat that much food at one time. Still, can't beat all that variety for only around $10.

it's not really a waste when you consider how much regular restaurants cost
you would eat the same amount of food for 3 times the price at a sit down place

This is actually the optimum diet for humans. Gorge once every two days with a power nap right after eating. The small meals throughout the day thing is bullshit.

Hell no you ain't. Pro tip: go somewhere with nice big booths so you have somewhere to nap when you're halfway done eating.

Most Asian buffets here are almost $20cad and we don't have the random item buffets like America has, unless you go to a casheeno and pay $20+. I can eat 3500 calories go biking or mountain climbing with a bike then I'm hungry again. It's not very filling, the salt and MSG just makes it feel that way. How do you make it 3 days off of a buffet meal? You must be a desk jockey.

Why?

I am currently staying in a bad part of town while in between apartments.

there is nothing but Mexican food in about a 10 block radius, but there is a Chinese buffet a couple blocks away that has a 1.5 star rating on yelp.

is going to it a good idea?

how likely am I to shit my guts out or eat rat

what planet do you live on? or do just associate exclusively with mountain climbers. i mean, that is not a normal activity for most people at all, i don't know why you seem to surprised.

desu if the rating is that low, it likely is shit. But it probably wouldn't hurt to try it I guess.

Buffets are almost always kinda crappy but still pretty good.

For most of human history food was scarce. You hunted a big animal with your tribebros and gorged when you caught one.

That just seems like a plausible theory. Is there any evidence that this is better? What did you mean by optimum? In what way is it optimum?

>Am I an asshole for taking advantage of the entire selling point of this restaurant?

If they didn't want you to eat as much as you could they'd run a regular restaurant with food priced by portion

For most of human history people also lived in medically unsanitary conditions and died by 30

I never got the "The cavemen did it so it must be best" logic

people who post reviews on yelp are subhuman. go to the chinese buffet. wish them a "happy chinese new year" every single time you go.

I believe you should do that at a buffet. Also most of registered is full of bullshit.

that sounds pretty smart and healthy, do this folks!

I remember a story about a guy who just went to buffets to people watch.
He brought a buddy to see the chaos as he ate spinach.

The guy that was in that biodome experiments in the eighties had done a lot of work on this. Supposedly theres very few down sides other then hunger and it does some great things for your kidneys and liver.

You're like my mom on the topic of going out. Her philosophy on china buffets is that it's cheap, fills you up and you get the most variety for you money.
I don't find her way of thinking flawed, but this philosophy ruined our family vacation since she was so stingy that she wouldn't eat anywhere else or anything that didn't come from a china buffet.

Someone that doesnt know how averages work is posting on fourchan!

Was it the one about the fat people huddling up to make eating battle plans on how to eat as much food as efficiently as possible?
I member.

Yeah, and I think something happened with a tard kid in a child seat destroying the place with mac and cheese.

Maybe do four podcasts a week instead of three, Joe Rogan.

Fucking post this.

Fuck, I never saved it.

Those ratings are probably caused by 'Juan' and 'Pedro' downvoting it.

what is agriculture?

Doesn't work for me, once I get near full capacity the thought of food makes me sick and everything loses its delicious flavors

If you don't eat all day then you stomach actually shrinks a little so you fit less food in it. You gotta stretch it like a muscle to get the full effect. Eat a shit ton of grapes for breakfast, keep your stomach big and it passes right the fuck through ya.

They made tests with rats...
3 groups :
- 100% daily needed calorie group
- 130% daily needed calorie group
- 70% daily needed calorie group

The starving ones where more aggresive then the other ones but healthier and lived longer...

The fat ones died faster...

The story about the goldwn corral chocolate fountain....

>Most Asian buffets here are almost $20cad
>cad

Why is our currency so shit?
>American dollar goes down, prices in Canada go up
>American dollar goes up, prices in Canada go up

JUST

spotted the entitled POC

Or then just do like competitive eaters and drink a ton of water then piss it out/throw it up

>inb4 "inb4 water poisoning"

Its their diet + physical activity that we think was best. Jeezus, learn to cherry pick.

70% how?

did they deprive the rats of food for days then let them gorge themselves at a rat buffet?

It's well known what a lab rat needs to maintain weight. They fed the rats 70% of that figure.

There was no "rat buffet", just over-, under-, and normally fed rats.

I just was at an all you can eat and drink Brazilian barbecue buffet yesterday, it was unbelievably good, the meat obviously wasn't from brazil. I didnt pay, it was a work thing, but even if I did, for $52 I feel like I got my money's worth in tenderloin, pork, bacon, chicken, sausage of all kinds, wine and caesar salad.

Whenever I know I'm going to a buffer (or any restaurant with fairly big servings) I eat barely anything for a day before, but I still end up feeling full way too fast once I'm here...

The simple resolution is to get absolutely high out of your mind on Marijuana and then down the entire buffet. That seems to be the only way I can eat enough food to keep me full for a few days
