How fast do you eat?

[LouHulk]

I know lots of people eat pretty healthy portions of food. How quickly do you eat it? Is it important to get it in quickly or is it ok to take 30-45 minutes to eat a meal?

It used to take me about 40 minutes to eat breakfast. It was hell getting to work when I had to wake up 1.5 hrs before I had to be there.

I don't think it really matters as long as it is under 45-30 min. 2.5-3hrs after your last bite you should eat your next meal. But who wants to spend 4 hrs a day eating?

it doesnt really matter how fast as long as the food is completley chewed

I scarf my food down so quickly, i'm always finished within 5 minutes regardless of the meal. It's definitely better to take your time to eat - i.e. proper digestion, and eating slow makes you feel fuller. Someday i'll try it!
