Just eat already

So, a person who shall remain nameless and I went to dinner last night. Where they proceeded to order dinner, carefully spoon the butter off their sweet potato, and eat in maybe five minutes flat.  At the end of the day they seem in a really foul mood and when I ask why it is because they are hungry.  So we go down the list and track what they ate that day.  They get more calories on a given day for weight loss than I get for maintaining, which doesn't seem fair but that is beside the point.  So I tell said person that they have 900 calories left for the day so why dont they go get something to eat.  But they are too lazy to do that.  AND I think they think that starving themselves by eating so far under their calories means that they will lose weight even faster. Guess what? It doesn't work that way. You don't eat, chances are you won't lose. And if you do lose you are losing valuable muscle first.  SO EAT ALREADY!!!!!
