>>9449673
I think this more than anything is the main reason Americans are so obese. Our portions are fucked.

>>9449717
Well... they are stingy with drinks. When I got back to the US and the waiter kept refilling my drink I yelled "IM HOME!!!".

>>9449684
you arent supposed to eat a burger every day
with enough exersice and an otherwise healthy diet you can eat an american restaurant meal every other day, eating a lot on its own isnt the problem, problem is when you eat the big restaurant meal with a soda and then you go for icecream or you have a candy bar or one of those milkshackes coffees later on and you spend the day infront of a computer and you do the same the next day

>why is american food made to obese size??
IT's often not.

DDD specializes in the sort of places that often have huge or outrageous meals for the novelty factor. That's the whole point of the show, really. That's not normal food that most people eat on a daily basis. Watch a different program if you want to see more "normal" food.

>>9449717
America fills their cups with ice first

I honestly don't understand how people can go through as many calories as they do. Even if I eat a huge plate of carbonara, it's only like 1500 calories and I won't eat much else for the day. I have to really push to reach even 2k calories. Is it just because I cook at home and eat a normal breakfast/lunch?

>>9449673
I like how they have baby utensils next to their plate, no wonder Europeans are a bunch of nu-males. The portion difference is probably because europoors can't afford all the food that makes up the manly American diet.

>>9449818
How much do you exercise?

>>9449793
The main reason Americans are so obese is because of a sedentary lifestyle.

>>9449673
European here, i visit US multiple times. I noticed a few things.

1. Groceries is more expensive than europe, eating healthy there is expensive. A fucking cucumber cost like 6 bucks while in europe its like 50 euro cents?

2. Most people there buys lunch and usually eat half and take the rest in a doggy bag. (takeout). Some just skip out dinner or eat less dinner.

3. Honestly i don't give a fuck about portion sizes, in the end it's all your own responsibility. You just need to have some discipline.

>>9449823
Only a little, I'll admit. I exercise daily but only simple bodyweight stuff. I doubt a lot of the people who reach double their intended daily calories do strenuous exercise, though.

>>9449826
This is true, in Europe people indulge in sweets, white bread, and meat and dairy centered dishes as much as America but the difference is to get the ingredients for dinner or go to a restaurant they will walk around their concise centuries old town that has everything you need within 5 blocks. In America you will drive in your car for at least 5 miles and then just walk 100 yds into the store or restaurant.

>>9449673
i was wondering that myself. when i was in usa for 2 weeks i finished a meal once and that was by sheer will and forcing it down. felt sick for rest of the day and didn't even feel hungry in the morning

>>9449832
>A fucking cucumber cost like 6 bucks while in europe its like 50 euro cents?
That's an outrageously high price for a cucumber in the US, even for overpriced hipster-oriented markets.

>>9449832
If you have ever seen a morbidly obese person
They usually are carrying with them a Giant 1/2 gallon of some kind of soda. Check bus stop to prove my fact.

>>9449833
I eat like 4 meals a day and probably a minimum of 3k kcal but I also to physical work as well as 5 hours a week in the gym. It's also easier to stop working out than changing eating habits. You'd be surprised how many obese adults were Chad's and Stacys in their youth.

>>9449849
This. Drinking your calories is the #1 way to pack on the lard.

>>9449853

Whole foods, Boston MA, including tax. A year ago. Dunno what the price is now.

And yes Asian Markets are cheaper. and Yes Wallmart is also cheaper. But those are 2 far away where i stay. Also a place where i don't want to hang around too long.

It's just an example. Groceries is really expensive compared to Europe. Which the prices is also rising

The only thing which is not expensive are meat, like steaks. I love US steaks.

>>9449864
That's not the point.
Point is I paid basically for a cup of ice water someone spilled soda into and paid something like $18 a gallon for the privlage.

>>9449853
I usually have oatmeal, yoghurt or some form of eggs for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch then a big meal for dinner, probably 2-3 normal portions-worth. I know it's not healthy to have a big meal at once like that, but that's usually when I make real food from scratch, like pasta/stews/curries/chilis etc. I don't understand how people get to eat like that for every meal of the day.

>>9449872

There is your answer. I worked in Europe for several years. Groceries were much more expensive there than anywhere I worked in the states.

80kg at 180cm (about 175lbs and 6ft for my fellow burgers)

>>9449913
I agree with that but that was my experience. I found overall it was more expensive but not by a lot and like in the US the closer you are to farmers the cheaper produce is and the bigger a city you are in the more things cost in general. I've worked all over the place and its pretty surprising just how much food prices vary.

>>9449933
>closer you are to farmers
This is so true. My parents live in a rural area and can buy fresh produce from local growers for basically nothing. Even in my town of only 30k people the prices are still nearly double what they'd pay

>>9449673
>>9449684
>>9449717
Diet isn't the sole reason for the American obesity epidemic. Over time, more and more men and women elect to have white collar, sedentary jobs because they pay more and on average have better benefits than laborious jobs. Also you will notice the fatter states are the ones where people can't really walk from place to place, so to go anywhere you need to take some form of transportation. Sure, you could ride a bike, but even in my "bike friendly" shithole city someone riding a bicycle gets killed at least once a month due to inattentive motorists.

So while portion sizes may be a contributing factor, if Americans were more active, it wouldn't matter as much.

>>9449673
OP clearly doesn't have the slightest of clues about European portions.

>>9449768
Ok.

>>9449961
That's all well and good, but it's not like your TDEE working a white collar job drops to 1200 cals and no matter how active you are in a labor job you can't outwork a bad diet. Diet is the largest contributing factor by a large margin.

the thing about european sizes being small is a fucking meme, they eat huge amounts all over the continent

>>9450029
You're wrong but you're also kind of a loser so I'm not going to fight about it.

>>9450029
You missed the point completely.

>>9449832
This. Its a common thing in america to not finish everything and take homr leftoverd

>>9450029
Uh my TDEE is only like 1300 cals and I usually have to hover at 1000 to lose weight. Do you even work long hours in an office?

A little probably? Honestly hard to tell because I also have loose skin from losing 60lbs of fat that I carried on my gut. My two upper abs are visible tho. I could probably get close to a six pack if I did a cut and abstained from booze.

>>9450292
Even if we didn't, there is still a bunch of natural barriers that would still mean its a bunch of states.
There is a reason why Hannibal crossing the Alphs is a big thing, because its the biggest barrier inside of Europa.
Or the Baltic sea, which separated northeren Europa from Francogermany.

That said, pity the americans for not getting 10/10 Pizza and kebabs made by Turks with questionable work ethic and tax fraud.

>>9450763
when i was like 7-10 i loved white american toast bread (i'm in yurop, yuropean ethnically) but now it even looks disgusting to me. here is the answer: rye crispbread (that's 10/10 by itself) goes amazing with lingoberry jam, and i used to spread pb on rye bread/crispbread, so i thibk this can make an amazing, not kindergarten-tier pbj.

anon, why is those three sentences from the opposite world ?

I lost a lot of weight with using my smaller plates for full meals through.

>>9449826
This. I don't even go out that much, I don't exercise, and I'm not fat, but it's this. Portion has a lot to do with it with what Americans are used to seeing, but just sitting around on your ass is the bigger issue of the two.

>>9449933
I think part of it is also shopping intelligently, I lived in an area with several grocery stores and if I wanted to save money overall on groceries I had to go to each one to get what I wanted for a good price.

Eating healthy ended up being really easy BUT I had to go to a super hippy/organic grocery store. Most of their stuff was expensive but their non-organic produce was ridiculously cheap. I could fill a huge grocery bag to the very top for $10 or less.

Look at the average euro lunch. They sit there and eat for hours. That's why they barely have breakfast or dinner.

>>9449717
Traveled the US for a few months this year and I was in for a surprise when I ordered a large meal. The drink sizes are ridiculous and you get free refills on top of that.

>>9451050
Europe isn't one country. My lunch is usually one or two sandwiches eaten over the span of 10 minutes. The same goes for a lot of non southern europe. And even in spain "for hours" is a ridiculous overstatement, not every day is a sunday brunch or holiday. They've got jobs and shit to do as well.

>>9449673
The portion on the right is what an 8 year old eats where I'm from. A normal portion would be the one in the middle, and if you're a laborer you eat the one on the left. I did notice portion sizes in restaurants in the US are very large though, larger than in the leftmost picture, but taking it with you and reheating it later is very common. Usually you'll get a whole days worth of food that way.

>>9449768

I'm nearly at manlet status at 187cm where I'm from. USA the average male is at best 175cm.

>>9451098
Italians get a few hours lunch break to eat and sleep. They eat dinner at like 10pm when I'm already asleep.

>>9449832

$6 cucumbers means you've found your way into a whole foods in San Fransisco, briskly walk to the exit and never return. That chain is a fucking ripoff. Even at trader joes cucumbers were $2 or something, and you can go way cheaper. Still agree on higher prices in general though for produce, even wallmart was pretty expensive with some stuff.

>>9451112
Not all Italians, and if they do take a nap they're not spending that time eating lunch. Southern France, Spain and Italy do tend to eat late though, and often spend a lot of time around the dinner table. However it's a way of life that's steadily becoming less common.

In western and northern europe it's much more common for dinner to be at 6 and be finished in about 30 minutes. Much more efficient, same idea with lunch being 30 minutes at best.

>>9449673
When I moved from Chicago to Wisconsin I definitely noticed that restaurants here give you way too much food. Up to that point I had never needed a doggy bag and thought it was rude as fuck to get one. Now I need one about half the time I eat out, it's ridiculous

Also there is cheese on everything

Have you retards ever considered that we don't eat it all in one sitting?

>>9451205
Why?

>>9449684
Jesus, it's not a written law that you need to get fries. You could literally live a healthy life of Burgers if you didn't replace the fries with a salad and the soda with water or even juice.

>>9451210
Because the patrician way of eating is being replaced by the American plebian way. Meals should be slowly enjoyed not swallowed down like a starving man who's never seen a slice of bread before. Visiting with family and friends over multiple courses and many glasses of wine is worth more than working as hard and efficiently as you can until you die. You will probably never get rich, you definitely can't take it with you when you die, so why sacrifice the joys of good food and good company? Its something any man rich or poor can enrich his life with.

>>9451232

Although I get where you're coming from, personally I would hate having to do that more than once a month with my family. And regular weekday meals aren't anything special either, I don't have the money for multi course extravagant meals every day nor do I have the patience to sit through a 2.5 hour affair every fucking day. I'd rather spend my time doing something I actually enjoy, and that's the general consensus.

I might never be rich, but I'd rather use that time on something else I enjoy. And having extravagant 2.5 hour meals every day ends up being very costly.

However to each his own I guess, if you enjoy spending 2 or more hours every day looking at the same people, and talking about the exact same shit then I'm not stopping you.

>>9449923
>I've tried eating more but if I eat much more than I do I end up feeling heavy and shitty.
That's a mental issue. Work past it.

>>9451252
See that's the thing, the meal doesn't have to be extravagant (salad course, meat/fish hot vegetables course, dessert) and the more often you spend quality time with people the LESS likely you are to have the same superficial bs conversation you develop a more quality relationship and openness and conversation flows more easily. Does it take work? Yes. Does it take more than minimal effort from everyone? Of course, but these are acts of compassion and love. Also eating at 6pm is entirely too early. If you're getting off work at 5 and eating dinner by 6 I gurandamntee it's junk food.

>>9449673
Having actually lived in both places, pic related is the actual reality.

Serving more than your competition for the same or lower price has always been a tactic used by restaurants to attract and keep customers, regardless of nation.

Try again, Ameriboo.

Junk food and take-out are a once a month thing for most people here. Usually there' someone at home making dinner or you cook up something yourself. Peeling and boiling potatoes, making some vegetables and grilling up some meat shouldn't take more than 40 minutes, hell you can cook up a decent noodle, pasta or rice dish in 20 if you keep it simple.

>>9449673

>>9449673
Most restaurants give you a bigger portion because the food is cheaper than labor. So you could spend like $10 for a normal portioned meal, or $12 for a second portion that you can take home for later. The average person isn't really supposed to be eating the entire meal. Food is cheap here, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. People just lack self control or are ignorant about how to actually eat in a healthy way.

A big problem is soda though, the average American consumes over 150g of sugar per day, and if you translate that into calories it's at least an extra 500 calories from drinks on top of probably 2k calories from food. Not that soda is inherently bad, if people just stuck to drinking 6 oz portions once per day they'd be fine, but some people drink it instead of water.

who the fuck eats half a burger?
I refuse to give up muh freedom for some shitty health reason

So I went to america once, and you really wouldn't believe the way that they eat. The supermarkets are the most funny, since they literally have electric mobility scooters at the entrance, because Americans are too lazy to walk. You'd think they were only for the disabled, but no, everyone uses them. It's like out of that film, Wall-e.

Another crazy thing is that the supermarkets actually contain fast food places, like McDonalds, because I guess Americans get hungry while they're shopping. And if it's not a fast food place, its the supermarket it self, which serves massive boxes of fried chicken at the deli, or even gigantic pizzas.

>>9453958
>supermarkets

You failed to mention the most egregiously disgusting aspect and that is 90% of the shelf space is occupied by processed to fuck amalgamations of industrial petroleum based chemicals blended artfully with copious quantities of government subsidized HFCS. That alone explains why 80% of the customers require scooters.

>portion size greater at restaurant than at home

What? Who does this? How? Why?

Why does Europe have children's cutlery

>>9453991
Because all of their men died in the world wars, leaving behind only the manchildren, faggots, pussies, and invalids.

>>9454004
>all of their men died
>leaving behind manchildren
Do you actually read what you post you thick cunt?

>>9454013
Manchildren aren't men.

>Buys his milk in the non refrigerated section in a foil box

this burger had 1 pound of cheese in it. the cheese alone is about 1600 kcal. insane

>yuros not getting the concept of people taking leftovers with them and some people don't finish everything in one sitting
>typical amerifats fighting
>giving a fuck about what people eat at some rando restaurant. Who fucking cares.
>City supermarkets/Walmart are the only places amercunts buy vegetables and other healthy foods, apparently.
>durrr what is living near farms or coast lands?? or better yet not being a lazy fuck and driving to the nearest farm.
>Note: travelling to one part of the usa does not make one an expert on what burgers eat nor their eating habits.
>Implying there are no leaf or Jose fatties around. North America is a fattie place
>muh culture>your culture
>so much repeating baits and predictable replies you can make a drinking game out of it, not just in this thread.

so what's up with euros and americlaps shitposting about shitty usa food? Everytime it's "why do amerifats eat [x]?" or "look at this food no wonder you guys are fat", am I back on /int/ or something?
It's getting super boring and fucking stupid with how fucking predictable this is.

Are these all the same person or do we have three idiots in here?

TDEE of a 25 year old 160 lb 5 ft 9 male working a sedentary office job is just over 2k calories. Unless you're literal midgets and weigh 80 pounds your energy expenditure is certainly not 1300 daily. Also like that guy said diet is widely regarded as much more important for weight loss/gain than exercise. In point of fact, if you can exercise all day every day and still gain weight, or exercise not at all and still lose weight. It's all dictated by how much you eat.

>A single fish stick

No way to live really. Make all the fat jokes you want.

Not really ever since rick n morty. People have been getting into making their own pickles and the market for it is going nuts.

I bought a cucumber yesterday. It was $0.28 at Lidl. More expensive grocery stores here sell them for upwards of $0.55. You are off by an order of magnitude... except for some hipster organic meme cucumber in San Francisco like the $6 "Asparagus Water" at Whole Foods.

OK because Micheal Phelps ate 12000 calories and was so fat

>>9456582
Because he followed the workout regime of an Olympic champion. Are you retarded? Again, which sounds more feasible for the average person: following michael phelps' workout routine, or practicing moderation?
