Thread: It's easier to eat more than to eat less! Right?

It's easier to fight the temptation of cheating than it is to stuff 4500 calories down my throat a day.

I find it's easier to control eating small, rather than making yourself eat big, generating cravings, and hence eating everything that comes your way.. eating a lot of clean food is difficult for me

how about drinking so much goddamn water?! I am 2 weeks away from a show and I'm near 3 gallons of gaddum water!!!!

actually, I am going into a mass phase after the show and I will welcome the feeling of fullness. I will also welcome the pizza, the macaroni, the chocolate chip muffins from Dunkin Donuts, the milk, the coffee with 1/2 and 1/2, the sugar pops cereal, the fruity pebbles, the burgers from Applebees, bacon, sausage, meatballs, lasagna, did I mention the pizza, olives, swiss cheese, butterscotch pudding, chocolate....cough..sorry, choked on my own drool.

So, if you ask whether or not its easier? helloooooo?????

definetly easier for me to eat less when my diet is on. I can't/won't stuff myself just to get the cals in

neither are particularly easy! i voted that its easier to eat a lot, but that probably only because i'm cutting right now and every day i am constantly reminded of how tough dieting is... when it comes to bulking its pretty tough too, but meals are a LOT nicer! bulking is definately more enjoyable and easier for myself, i miss my tortilla wraps, steaks, baked potatos, sandwiches, cereals and other good ole "off season" food

agreed.
1 more week for my contest and then its horde frenzy

I think it all depends on what you're used to, and what your daily schedule is... When your schedule changes due to work and/or school it can be difficult to get meals in at a regular time.... In that respect it's easier for me to eat less, but that's more of an excuse to skip a meal... Last year when I got used to my schedule, it was 2nd nature to eat 4000 cals a day, now I'm trying to get back up there, but it's probably closer to 2500 or so.

Agreed....at one point I was taking in over 5k cals and it was easy! Now after cutting for a long time I am struggling with 2500-2700 cals. It will grow in time its just a mattor of how your stomach adapts.

I also agree with LAM about not stuffing my self beyond comfort.

It's damn easy to eat more but eat less is crazy. That is the time for craving all kind of food. The temptation will be in your face.

Cutting is easier then bulking and you always feel better when cutting. Your not bloated and holding a lot of water which sucks big time

So am I the ONLY one that finds it easier to eat more?!
