Bread, cake, crackers, chips, rice, potatoes. Any carbs, although pasta fills me up, strangely. ---

Devil Dogs. One regular one or two light ones, and your tummy doesn’t feel like anything has been added to it… now I want some, dammit. ---

Rice cakes and cheese puffs. You know those giant bags of cheapo cheese puffs you can buy for when you have a party? I’ve eaten an entire bag. They’re just orange cheese-flavored air to me … mmm, cheese-flavored air … ---

Another vote for the hot wings and sushi. Since I learned the goodness that is sushi, I can eat it all day. Except for sea urchin. _yuck_ Boiled shrimp. Can’t get enough. Especially if it’s low country boil. All that shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. YUUUUUUUM! Fried chicken thighs and legs, especially when I fry 'em. I swear I could buy thighs and legs in those ten pound bulk bags, fry and eat the whole thing. Course I’ve never done it, but I could. [sub]The most I’ve ever eaten at one time was four leg and thigh quarters. I’d have eaten more but I ran out.[/sub] Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. I don’t buy them by the box cause I have to eat the whole box at once. The evil things would just sit there taunting me til I do it. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Phlosphr \* > \*\*Vegi-Bootie. \*\* Ohhhh, I love Pirate’s Booty. I mean it is a full-blown addiction. But eventually I have to stop eating it because my tongue starts to hurt. FTR, though, Fruity Booty sucks. ---

Anything vegetable. I tried to go the vegetarian route, and I was so miserable after a week I couldn’t go on. Had a hamburger, felt immediately much better. No matter the size of the salad, 20 minutes later, I’m still hungry. Ditto all vegetable dishes. ---

Dito, **White Ink**. I could literally eat bath-tubs of potato salad, creamy cucumber and all the other veggie stuff without ever admitting that this could be a “meal”. ---

I can eat (literally) half a pound of cereal with a lot of milk (close to 2 pints) and still feel hungry. toast does that to me as well… i can eat a whole loaf of normal bread and still be hungy of course, my bread, that’s a different story hehe… ---

I’m going to go with cheese doodles(puffed). They take like 9 seconds to eat the whole bag and I’m still hungry. I’ve noticed Chinese food fills me up real quick, but leaves me super hungry 10 minutes later. Good fillers, that keep me stuffed for a while…meaty or noodle-y soups. Anything dairy. And, contrary to **auntie em** , pizza fills me up for hours. I might eat like half a pizza, but then I’m good for the rest of the day. (Probably should have stopped after slice 2! :P) ---

White bread dipped in homemade gravy - beef, turkey, doesn’t matter. I can eat an entire loaf and still want more. And CRAWFISH ETOUFEE makes me WISH like crazy that I could stuff more in, even when I’m bursting at the seams. I keep going long after I should have stopped and I’m feeling logy. But it’s so damned good. As long as it’s hot enough. WHO said sea urchin is yucky, huh? It’s my favorite sushi of all hmph. I think the texture upsets a lot of people, but I love the stuff. So long as you give me lots of wasabi! ---

I’ll second (or third?) Hot Wings. I think it seems like you’re eating more than you really are though, since there’s so little actual meat on each wing. I could polish off 2 dozen of them, easy. ---

My SO seems to have this problem with basically any food that’s not a full-course meal (red meat, potatoes, bread, vegetable, two desserts) prepared by his mother. He’s not a jerk about it though, which is good since a) I’m a vegetarian and b) I hate to cook He mostly grazes and cooks himself hunks of meat on my nonstick pans, using a sharp knife to turn it (yes this makes me insane, but I really don’t care that much) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/foods-that-fail-to-fill-you-up/194704.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/foods-that-fail-to-fill-you-up/194704.md?page=3)
