Weekend Treat


#21

Hi Shinita. Yes pork belly is a tad expensive, but my SO and I both love it so we figure at the weekend, as a treat to share between us, there were only five in the pack, so we had two and a half each, why not? Tomorrow pork chops, they’re not my favourite because there’s a good bit of lean meat on them, the fat on them is the tasty bit. And I think I’ll cook us egg and bacon for breakfast. Fritters for my oldest boy, my youngest only wants fruit and toast. I find the more fat there is on a piece of meat the less I eat of it, as fat really brings me satiety. And it’s perhaps because it’s so good, I eat less of it, and feel satisfied, it was the same with desserts back when I ate them. I don’t pay attention to macros or ratios, but I eat pretty much the same every week. Eggs I tend to go on and off though, but I have them at least a few days a week. My SO never tires of eggs and can eat them every single day, I’m like that with meat, and cream.

Lucky. It makes perfect sense but my body has its unique logic. I had multiple days when I ate 1000g pork shoulder so it doesn’t work for me. I never ate that much meat using anything else…
Really fatty meats (I mean, mostly fat ones) do as fat satiates me well if I eat very little protein with it. Pork shoulder is too protein rich and nice for it so I just eat too much of it. Unless I am careful.

If it’s so good, I overeat it easier :frowning: Though I understand the logic, smaller amount brings nice satisfaction…

Desserts, yep, I prefer rich ones and I need less of them, that works.

I simply need my eggs every day. Sometimes only 3-6, sometimes 10-12… They add up very quickly and they aren’t particularly satiating so maybe I should keep them at the minimum… But they are just too good. And I can’t eat mostly meat.
