How many chews to you have?

Tonight we had Fajitas. I ate 5.3 ounces of fajita stuff (meat, peppers, onions), one tortilla and some sauteed zucchini and mushrooms. All of this equalled 310 calories. That makes 1000 calories exactly for me today.

The boys and Mike also had Fajitas. Will made a comment that his food wasn't going down his throat very well and it hurt. I told him he needed to follow Mike's example and chew his food more. So we decided to count how many times Mike chewed one piece of meat: 79 times!!

That is why he is skinny and I am not.

I'd be skinny, too, if I chewed my food that long with each bite. Maybe I'll practice that. :)

So that's why it takes Mike 2 hours to finish a meal, eh? -Jess

Hey I am just like that believe it or not. That is why I can eat so much more and it takes me a lot longer. The slower you eat the better for you right??

79 times?? Are you practicing for old age, Mike? Even a piece of jerky would be reduced to liquid after 79 chomps.

Mike thought your comments were all funny. He said, "People swallow their food before it gets to liquid? How can they do that?"
