Why do guys in their eat such poor meals each day lacking any nutritional value. Example: m&ms for breakfast, then nothing all day, etc.

Huh, the men in their 30’s eat better than I do. (humblebrag, I ate ramen and Nutella on a spoon for a two course meal last night). I see them always eating salad/soup/sushi for lunch and splurging on dinner after their workouts. They also all own kitchen gadgets like sous vide and pasta machines, and tell me about their new recipes they cooked with their wife. I saw one eat a pretzel once and was internally shocked he was actually eating sugary refined carbs.

I’m a woman in my 30’s and have horrendous eating patterns because of my depression and anxiety. Maybe that’s what the guys you mention are going through. Also could be their upbringing and personal circumstances. Maybe these people never learned to take care of themselves for whatever reason (always catered to by parents for example), and are now floundering.

I run upwards of 100K/week, do some bomb ass plant-based meal prepping, and blend smoothies after all my big runs. But I also have been guilty of eating M&M’s for breakfast.

Honestly, it’s a matter of “huh, I haven’t had M&M’s in a while” then buy a pound and being a lazy fuck the morning after.

I’m also not from the US.

I’m in my late 30s, male and I eat pretty healthy. I get exercise every day, even if it’s just walking the dog some days. Hardly eat fast food, cook at home 90% of the time and balanced meals. My wife is pescatarian so I don’t eat as much red meat as I used to. Hard to cook big red meat based meals just for myself and when I do, I have leftovers for days. I also like beer so I try to offset that by eating healthier than I used to.

You are talking about American men, right? Americans have a terrible diet in general, why do you think covid deaths are so high in this country? There is a direct corollary there.

So I boomeranged back to PwC after 2 years away and 2 layoffs. I took a role that I knew would be a soft landing and allow me to rebuild confidence even if it wasn’t my long term ambition. Successfully rebuilt confidence and was promoted to SM within a year. But now I’m not being challenged and have that ‘grass is greener’ feeling. I feel like a hard internal pivot is going to piss people off as much as if I left to a competitor. How do I play this ?
