The Dinner Thread

[Odin]

Breaded JUMBO shrimp and homemade french fries. Boy can my mom cook. (well so can I, it runs in the family, I can make a killer pumpkin pie. )

A week ago I went to a Chinees buffet with THE BEST stir-fry in Fargo. Mmmmmmmm.

I win for most disgusting

Soyburger and non-fat slice of cheese on a cinnamon/raisen bagel, followed by a sourdough roll and a lemon yogurt, washed down with a vanilla-flavored diet coke.

[Bosh]

went to the thai place with friends and, of course, ordered curry

[loinburger]

Soda (Cherry Coke) and some apple crisp.

Had Mexican tonight - beef nachos topped with cheese and baked for however long they bake it to melt the cheese. Yum!!!

[Ramo]

I ate out today with a few friends, celebrating a certain final being over, at a Greek place, where I had a gyro platter.

I had spinach pie for brunch today. Mmmmm-mmmm good!

[David Floyd]

Haven't eaten yet, but I will probably whip up some pasta...usually I mix some sort of pasta with canned tuna, black olives, chedder and parmesan cheese, with a large amount of crushed red pepper and other seasonings. Mmmmmm......

Or I might make some nachos...usually beef, four types of cheese, a bunch of jalapenos, black olives, and onions...good stuff too

[Boris Godunov]

Dude, you shouldn't eat so late...it's bad for you.

[David Floyd]

Actually, I think WHAT I eat is worse for me than WHEN I eat...considering that yesterday my entire intake of food consisted of half a loaf of white bread and 2/3s of a bag of jalapeno chips, and all I've had today is some frozen yogurt, a candy bar, and a sandwich.

And a ton of Dr Pepper on both days.

But this is early for me, lot's of nights I don't even eat until 2 or 3. Then I sleep until about 2 pm the next afternoon, assuming I don't have to work early (and assuming I'm skipping school, which is sort of expected).

I've heard this too many times.

Every night about an hour before I go to bed I make a good-sized snack, and I'm still 5'10 and 140lbs in all these years of doing it.

In summary, only people with slow metabolisms must heed that advice. The (temporarily) biologically blessed like I am don't need to worry about it.

[David Floyd]

Yeah, I'm 5'11" and about 155, so I'm not worried. And by the way, I'm DOWN about 10 pounds from 6 months ago, so go figure.

[Boris Godunov]

Nothing to do with weight. Has to to with developing some nasty digestive disorders in the future, and an increased risk of esophogeal cancer.

[Asher]

What does time of eating have to do with the esophogus?

Sounds like an old wive's tale to me, is there any medical proof for it?

[Boris Godunov]

I'm assuming you will be going to bed failry soon after eating. Going to bed while your stomach is full and digesting is not healthy for you. One of the big problems is increased acid reflux, where your stomach acid will back up your esophogus, where it eats away the tissue and leads to an increased risk of cancer.
