I’m boring, I like having meals that I don’t have to think about as options to lean on in the morning. Pb and toast is my default for a low effort, no-brain-power-required breakfast.
During my poverty days I ate that as my main source of calories in the day. At most I’d go through a 1lb jar in about 3 days, so like 2lbs a week back then.
These days I’m eating a plant based diet and have far more variety of foods I put in my face. I still go through a 1lb jar in ~1 week, unless I’m eating oatmeal or something else for breakfast for a stretch.
You know that ‘what’s one food you’d bring to a deserted island to eat forever’ question? My answer was always peanut butter. Have to rethink that now.
I buy Albert Heijn’s 100% peanut butter by the kilo (1lb is about 450g) and I go through that in just over two weeks. I won’t lie though, it is self-evidently a lot of fucking peanut butter.
Some years ago I could nearly eat nutella by the spoonful, but my taste buds must have changed because now it tastes too sweet, so I only eat it occasionally.
I was going to say, I do this too, but about halfway through the jar it gets nauseating and I can’t look at the stuff for a couple weeks. At least I get natural peanut butter fwiw. Nothing there but peanuts and salt
I can happen if you eat a fucking pound or two a week. Do you eat that much in a week as your comfort food?
Yes I do

I genuinely think I’ve been eating about a pound a week for a while. 😐 Not amused.
A standard jar of JIF is only 3/4 Lb. 1-2Lb/week is 2-3 jars a week. There’s no way you didn’t suspect that this was unhealthy…

A pound is like a small tub. If it is a staple of your diet, you will easily eat that over a whole week. 7 days.
Yes
I mean a pound, I have sat in front of a jar of nutella and done that. Just wouldn’t do that every week lol

I stopped drinking coke for some time now, except in very rare examples. It tastes completely off to me now.
Good for you. Empty calories anyway
I wonder if you’d like cane sugar soda, either kosher coke or smaller soda makers will have stuff that uses real sugar instead of corn syrup.
I’m drinking the real stuff, I’m not from the US
