As someone who, if anything, wants to gain weight, this has the inverse effect for me. Peanut butter is great because it's so dense with calories. (I try to avoid sugar though, but I don't think peanut butter has much added sugar, but I'll have to check next time I have some.)
I know I'm in the minority though. I'm a 6ft tall man who weighs ~125-130lb. I was stuck at 120 for a decade or more, and only recently have put on a couple more pounds. I don't have an eating disorder or anything, but I just struggle to put on weight, so my serving sizes personally for peanut butter are way higher than average.
Yeah well fuck you
Just FYI, I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but it's not appreciated. I've had issues in the past, and still do some, about feeling too skinny. This was not me bragging, and I've gotten it a lot in the past that people treat it as something good, while I struggle with it. Would you say the same to an overweight person who is trying to not be overweight?
It was a joke and I’m sorry.
There are a lot of fat people who use Lemmy and they take it very personally when someone doesn't shovel as much food in their gut as they do, take it as a compliment. Skinny people live longer.
I’m in the “healthy” BMI range, thank you. I just hate having to work to maintain that. I would love to shovel as much food in my gut as I want; I spend most of the time thinking about my next meal. But I also understand that being overweight is a huge predictor of lots of other issues and like you said, an early death.
Sorry I've been dealing with other people who want to try to tell me that taking a drug to make your dick work is equivalent to lifestyle changes like taking fucking vitamins. Made me very salty, and my fiery gaze transfixed onto you. Again, I'm sorry.
