From Scott Pryce: Thanks for this. I remember fondly the days when I was trying to gain weight by lifting and eating as much as possible (say double full English breakfast with pie). This was after getting out of the marine corps and in my first grad degree. How times have changed! And I have double Mark’s issue with the fast eating thing: in the Marines we had no time to eat literally. You ate when you thought you had a few minutes in which you wouldn’t move or be tasked with something. So if you opened up a ration and didn’t wolf it all down quickly, you were likely to get interrupted and lose what you hadn’t finished.
