for years I have been amazed at there ability to put away vast amounts of food and still want for more an hour later.

they average 50kg but eat like a heavyweight, eg my 49kg wife just put away six tacos that were packed tight, I only had 5.

I have noticed this with friends to, are they stuffing themselves because they don't like waste, or do they have a physical ability i'm not aware of such as hollow legs.

seriously though i'm stunned that me at 92 kilos, cannot keep up.

Has she been checked for worms mate?

Maybe your wife was hungry?

Ive never noticed them put away "vast" amounts of food.

i was always under the belief,they ate small meals,but they ate at least 3 meals a day..

Has she been checked for worms mate?

Thai women don't usually pack it in, often quite the opposite picking at small amounts but three or four times daily. It might be useful as Bookman asks and take a stool sample and get her checked out for worms and other parasites.

Little and often seems to be the way it's done around these here parts,lots of fruit,sweet tamarind,and various other inbetweenie snacks which in general are not bad for you.

I still find myself reaching for the cashew nuts or crisps.

It's a question of what they eat as opposed to the amount.

Were she stuffing down pizza slices then she'd not be so slim.

Most of the grub Thais eat is relatively light on saturated fat i.e. seafood, white meat, fruit etc. compared to snack food in the West...

As mentioned already though it's usually "little and often" with Thais as opposed to our big meals.

I watched an interesting tv show on Youtube, about the reason why there are people that can't put on weight.

6 Tacos, if she has the same liking for Pizza's & burgers I don't think she will be 49Kilos for long.

But I agree, my wife after 10 years of marriage is still the same weight as when we met, 45 kilo's wringing wet.

And I have slipped her the odd wormer just to check, but I gave up competing with her a long time ago, trouble is she hates eating alone.

Ha !! Maybe it's not only the eating you can't keep up with

I thought they grazed...like a buffalo in the paddy?

yes have had thai gfs weigh 40 kilos wringing wet and can almost out drink me and im a seasoned veteran.

Usually they are just grazing grass, and grass ain't nothin, so they need grazing better part of the day, just like any other herbivore

well, eventually, in the toilet.

NEXT THREAD

My TW eats approx 2 to 3X my intake and lots of fat and carbos [rice and noodles] and as little as I eat, I'm the one that's getting fat. I've often wondered the same thing, where does it go???

Yes take a group of 40kg girls out to Moo Khatat all-you-can-eat buffet and get out of the way a site to behold, wow do they get their 129 baht's worth.

DNA? Metabolism?

I guess the occasional binge doesn't hurt if the normal pattern is sensible, little-and-often, not eating too much ice-cream chocolate and farang fast-food.

Has always amazed me too, used to think the same way about younger French and Italian women.

And remember very high motivation to not let yourself go, never taking hubby for granted I'm sure helps.

to those who say they dont eat much, either you have never met a thai woman, or you eat so much and are so fat you never noticed because her massive meals seem small to you.

Did you also had 5 beers? That could explain your 92 kg.

They eat spiced mush, in and out. When out, in again then out. Really a non stop thing. Well in my place it is.

Have just returned from the movies (Argo) and found this topic had appeared, ironically, after I just witnessed the wife eat a carton of popcorn and one of those 'buckets' of Coke ..... only to then ask me to stop at KFC on the way home.

Good question, where DO they put it? We'd had a big lunch at 2pm!

Small meats "my wife eats double what i eat" and she so small i also think she has hollow legs, this afternoon 4 pm somtam sticky rice 5.30 pm fried chicken steamed veg and more sticky rice followed by a big banana fritter .

Aaaaaaah, what are athletes ? Bolt could not run a marathon, yes/no. Every sport has a different approach. Weight lifters cannot do stuff that runners can, they would die.

yes but im not the one claiming i must be fat because im 92kg am i, try to keep up.

thats what i was getting at anyway, bolt is heavier then me, but he is an athlete, dam_n is it so hard, read back, someone said you cant be an athlete at my weight.

I was 95 kg muscles when i was in my best shape ever.

I'm around 95 kg now also, but it ain't muscles and i'm in the lousiest shape ever

thats what i was getting at anyway, bolt is heavier then me, but he is an athlete, dam_n is it so hard, read back, someone said you cant be an athlete at my weight.

92kg?

What about a Darts player? Pool player?

These are the modern athletes, yes?

All the Muay Thai guys I know are tiny, and the girls too.

Anyway I'm 6 foot tall, 83Kg and am totally fat (but luckily not bald or smelly).

If I were to class myself as 'an athlete', I would expect to be around 75Kg.

PS be fair, I did complement you on your new avatar, which I did say makes you look quite slim.
