I went to school in upstate New York and one evening at around midnight, two other guys and I ordered chicken wings. 100 of them. I don’t think there were any left. ---

Ditto about the pizza, but if I also get an order of breadsticks I will feel too full. ---

Absolutely. When training for my first marathon, I once devoured an entire noodle bowl, appetizers and a good half order of fried rice. I could have eaten dessert, too. My then-boyfriend (now husband) stared at me like I had two heads. Then he laughed and put his arm around me. I was very, very thin then and burned calories like no one’s business. ---

A medium? That is a single serving size. ---

In college I’d regularly eat a medium Domino’s thin crust veggie lover’s all on my own without a problem. Now, even though I weigh much much more, I can eat 3 slices of any sort of pizza, maximum, and 2 slices of thick crust. No way could I even dream of polishing off a whole pie solo. ---

When I was about 17 I could easily do that and more, without even being all that hungry beforehand, and I didn’t gain weight from it. Alas, my metabolism changed at the beginning of my freshman year at college, but my appetite didn’t change until the end of my freshman year. My “freshman 15” was more like a freshman 30. ---

Monica: Joey, you don’t have to finish that. Joey: Oh yes I do. Otherwise what’s next? Today I’m just a guy who can’t finish a turkey, but tomorrow I’m the guy who eats half a Powerbar, wraps up the rest, and puts in the fridge? Joe ---

I routinely buy and eat medium four cheese pizzas, mostly to have people wonder “Where does she put it?” ---

I’ve put away a whole large, & enjoyed it. No indigestion after, either. ---
