11 year old me, too. I grew 6" in about 4 months but I only weighed about 60lbs when I was done because I was super tiny to start. My mom said our food bill roughly doubled that summer because I was eating about 4 servings at every meal. Could’ve fit my scrawny ass in that 100% off section probably and then gone ham on a buffet.
Me in college. About 5’11", 135lbs, all tone all the time from climbing and biking several hours every day. I spent a lot of time just trying to eat enough food to keep up
Exactly this. My ex-wife was 5’2”, 94 pounds with clothes on. She got us banned from our favorite Chinese buffet restaurant. Her diet was “anything not nailed down.” Lots of good reasons why she’s an ex, but I do miss how she could pack away food.
Yeah, fat almost 40 year old me can never do ann all you can eat. If I did one it would be a full plate one or two plates. Teens/20’s me would marauder the all you can eat I was also doing 2-3 sports at a time but still. Thin young people are gonna eat more than us old fat fucks. I remember doing it at Golden Coral and Ponderosaas a kid
I said this above, but there’s a reason for that. Thin people can eat more in a single meal than fat people because their stomach can expand more due to having less fat to push against.
I wasn’t but similar thing: while I’ve put in a lot of pounds as I get older, I eat much less than younger me. I don’t think this gate would have the desired effect
Although I’m more annoyed at the height discrimination.
High School me would have made them regret this system. I was skinny as hell but could consume VAST QUANTITIES

When I was 14, I grew 10" that year. At the end of the year I was 6’0 tall and weighed 145lbs.
We did a Calorie counting unit in PE that year in school. I was eating on average 6,000 calories per day across 8 meals.
Puberty is fuckin wild. I wish I could still eat like that.
Its insane how little I eat now compared to then.
My two boys are 14 and 19. The food bill has been stupid high for way too long.
My wife and I combined don’t eat as much as one of them.
Ham on a buffet, you say?

7 plates in I would have made a masscre of the general Tso’s chicken. It doesn’t matter where anyone comes from… They all serve it at the buffet
General Tso was truly the wisest of generals.

This is my brother now, in his mid 20s. His metabolism is out of control. I’m pretty jealous.

Like me all my life until my 30s, I can still easily eat a LOT but I gain weight, not a ton but not super skinny no matter what anymore.
Yup, I was 6’3 145lb and I ate 2x 1lb burgers once.
Then I got to 23yo and my metabolism came to a shrieking halt.
Don’t qualify, too tall, can’t fit under sign.
I can lean far enough to the side to wiggle under.
This was me also, though my eating was highly irregular. I’d eat basically nothing all day, then a baby size kebab in the afternoon.
I was like 175cm/60kg until late 20s
