I have a terrible habit of watching Youtube while I eat, and then one video turns to ten and I’ve wasted the entire day. I’ve tried just not watching it while I eat, but JUST eating is so incredibly boring that I cave in and turn it on regardless. I can’t get any work done while eating either, since it takes me out of flow state when I’m working on something. Same with something like reading - it takes too much concentration to be done at the same time enjoyably.
What do you guys do when you eat?
Watching tv shows or Youtube too. But I’m limiting myself to one full episode. Or if YouTube, I select a video in the 20~30 minutes range so it will last for the whole meal + small break after. And then I stop.
I read books/ebooks.
Or I read the back of the cereal box, over and over and over…
I use either one or both of my hands to dive the food into an unknown world inside my mouth.
I watch youtube/libretube or been watching StarTrek
If eating alone (I usually eat in family), I’m usually listening to music. Past that… it depends, really. If I’m treating myself I’ll probably just eat and listen to music, but if it’s a “normal” meal I might do it in the front of the computer or TV while browsing or watching stuff.
Maybe you aren’t eating the right foods? I am older so smaller calorie allocation now and honestly if I don’t enjoy something I don’t eat it. No room for crappy food.
Make or buy something healthy and so delicious you can enjoy it.
And music is a good accompaniment to food, that is engaging but won’t make you mindlessly overeat.
Being on threads like these?
I listen to the hottest tech news while I eat my Bretfast.
usually watch something or sit outside watching stuff
For my work lunches, I either read a book or do some random sketching. Alternatively I go and buy something outside and go for a walk while eating my lunch. Some coworkers make a big thing about eating together, but I really can’t do that every day.
At home I usually don’t eat on my own.You may want to look into something like Soylent. If I’m eating alone I’m usually flicking through Lemmy or watching something like you.
