Nobody suggested that. It was a single example. Quality food isn’t expensive. It might not be exciting and it might require some effort. People are lazy AF.

Regular weight here. Former athlete. Ate two slices of pizza as a child. Could eat a whole pizza alone in high school. Two slice minimum as an adult. Always budget for three slice a person. I do not run out of pizza this way or cause people to feel weird about going for more. And I keep non-pizza options available for a healthier choice.

But she claims the people in her downtown office eat small portions (which maybe true they are mostly much older like 60s, and I think appetite wanes), where my office skews younger (and less educated, hers is full of lawyers, mine are IT nerds). For lunch I see guys grabbing Chick-fil-A meal deal, which even I feel is a ton of food.

A good example — when we order pizza I say budget two slices per person, and she says one.

I work in a law firm. Maybe her coworkers eat less for lunch because there is so much damn food in the office all the time! We have snacks (chips, candy, bars, nuts, etc.) available and out. Weekly donuts. Weekly appetizers one late afternoon per week. Monthly birthday celebrations with cake/treats. Special morale days with more treats. You get the idea.

I eat small portions because I need to leave room for my superiority complex.

I can’t imagine eating only one slice of pizza if that was the main piece of the meal.

You may also have 3 green beans!

Those are massive.
