How long does it take you to eat?



  • I sit down and enjoy my meals, about 40mins!
  • Enjoy the meal, but eat too fast- about 25mins!
  • Usually eat in a hurry- about 15mins!
  • "Meals"? I snack!

I eat lunch with an ex-Marine. Does that tell you anything. We both realized we needed to slow down, when we'd leave work at 12pm, get to a fast food joint at 12:05, and be done eating by 12:15-12:20. I'm learning to slow down. But when I eat alone, I'm done within 15 mins easy. Prep time takes longer. lol.

Quite interesting that a number of us chose the '15min' option. I know too if I slowed down I probably wouldn't eat as much either!!


Lunch takes a little longer, as I post while I eat ;-)

I'm always doing something else when I eat. Reading, visiting, watching TV, listen to radio show, or dealing with a 2 year old. I notice I don't always clean my plate.


I feel bad for the woman I go to lunch with on Thursday. I talk so much I'm only half done when she has been quite and finishing her meal. I'm sure she wishes she could get a word in edge wise.
