You haven't really lived until you've eaten ten supreme soft tacos in one sitting. With fire sauce, naturally.

Why 10 when you can do 20?

Please stop posting on this subject, you are grossly misinformed/have awful misunderstanding of biology.

Lean mass encompasses more than muscle tissue. Rather than listing everything it is, it's easier to just say it is everything that is NOT fat in your body. Fat people carry far more water due to the nature of fall cells, which means they will indeed have a lot of lean mass in that calculation, but the problem is that when they diet down, they will lose a lot of the lean mass along with their fat mass. This isn't even getting into the awful things you do to your body getting to extreme levels of bodyfat.

You're thinking about like, World Strongest Man competitors, superheavy class powerlifters/olympic lifters, off-season olympia level bodybuilders, and offensive lineman/defensive tackles. These are dudes that are just BIG AS FUCK, but would have significant muscle mass if they dieted down(and it's very obvious when you look at them). This is not your average fat person. Being fat doesn't magically create muscle, you have to exert specific stresses on your body while simultaneously feeding it proper nutrition and maintaining a certain hormonal environment to gain muscle mass, it doesn't appear as an afterthought of gaining 70lbs because you ate food while you sat on your ass. Walking around with the added fat will add insignificant levels of muscle, which could very possibly be lost if you dieted down incorrectly, something you are more likely to do when you force yourself to diet down from obesity because you put on terribly sloppy weight.

There's a difference between telling someone they need to 'bulk' in a bodybuilding sense, and telling them 'just put on 70lbs eating whatever, worry about getting to the gym later.' That is such a terrible thing to tell anyone.

idk, a lot of people apparently get sleepy after food, but whenever I am tired I can just eat smt little and stop feeling tired. It won't help with the general derpiness and lack of focus that comes with lack of sleep though, at least not fully (people who played last EUW IHs know what I mean hahaha)

For me if I have a big meal I normally have a lot more energy after digesting it. Only turkey (which is known to cause sleepiness afterwards) and tacos for some reason cause me to be sleepy after eating a lot of it. Might be all the chemicals and shit that are in the taco meat idk lolol. I've never actually made straight up tacos from normal ground beef myself so no idea what "true" quality tacos are like I guess.
