Are you a big eater?

I am. I eat 3, sometimes 4 times what my GF eats in a day. I'll get full, but then a few hours later I'll want to eat more.

Same for buffets. I'll eat 8 plates plus 2 desserts, and be peckish by the time I get home.

Moved to food and drink and nope.
In comparison to my people around, I say yes! I have breakfast, lunch and dinner and another foods in between at every day.

It was just a big cooked breakfast with the usual suspects like sausages, hash browns, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms, bacon, and I had to devout the lot in under 10 minutes.

That reminds me of the TV show 'Man vs Food'. The moderator first looks for introduced foods in a restaurant in order to always accept a challenge at the end of the show. Almost with a time limit.

No. I eat the amount I'm supposed to eat. I have fast metabolism so I don't get much weight and if I eat too much I will just feel sick and it would be harder to function.
I eat 3 meals and have snacks in between.
I have ADHD so if I don't have a reminder to eat I can forget to eat if I am too busy. So when I'm alone I have a reminder app or alarm clock.

I usually have two meals a day. It's always breakfast and lunch. But dinner depends on the situation. In fact, I'm trying to eat normally now. Of course I like to eat, but I used to have some problems with overeating, which led to real trouble with my stomach. So now I am in treatment and recovery, I try to eat enough, but not to overeat, and of course the right treatment and the necessary meds from Canada Drugs help a lot. I can say that you need to think very carefully about what and how much to eat, because you can expose yourself to health problems.
