I’ve heard many, many stupid ideas over the years but I think “intuitive eating” has to be near the top of the doofus list. Things that can harm me potentially I do not want to do intuitively; I want to do them very deliberately. How does “intuitive driving” and “intuitive neurosurgery” sound to you? Not so good, really.

Eating “intuitively” makes no sense in the modern era with hyper-abundance of high-calorie, low-satiety food. For instance, I ate a larger-than-normal breakfast this morning (I don’t usually eat breakfast at all, but this was larger than what I eat when I do), so consequently I ate a smaller-than-normal lunch. That’s the very opposite of intuitive eating.

I really do need to concentrate on eating more protein, though. That’s not intuitive at all for me, either, as I really like vegetables and carbs, but it’d help me a great deal with my weightlifting goals.
