Question

How many times do u go back to the buffet table until you stop?

Answer 1

when i feel i've gotten my money's worth (if its free, whatever my time's worth ought to stop me)

Answer 2

I usually go and have a very small amount of whatever takes my fancy and then see how it is.  Anything I like, I'll go back and have some more, but sadly I only usually manage 2 or 3 visits in total - I'd love to go back again a few times but can't.  

I've got friends who must have hollow legs because they're smaller than me in size and they're up and down to those buffets about 8 times.  I don't know where they put it!

Answer 3

Just 1.. after that, I'm usually full.. and I think it's a bit ridiculous to see people going back for thirds, forths and fifths.... is it any wonder that most people are overweight?

Answer 4

Usually, the buffet i go to has a take out/eat in option. When my mom and i go we just take it home. For everytime you go to the buffet, you have to pay, so we just put ours in the take out tray and take it home. Its better that way so im not forced to go back. Id just go once. The first time id just get the food i wanted, eat and leave.

Answer 5

I agree with the other posters above, just wanted to add another idea.

When I'm at a party (wedding, etc) that has a buffet, I wait and see what others are doing.  If others are still going up to the buffet, and I want something more, I will go.  But I won't go up, if there's no one else up there milling around.

Answer 6

twice. once for salad and once for main course. skip desert...who needs it?

Answer 7

Most of the time, I don't return to the buffet table, but on occasion, I have gotten seconds of a particular item that just tasted really really good.

Answer 8

Till I am full and can't eat anymore. That happens ........!! Yipper.

And, I am a big eater. For a 6'3" frame, I need to.

I take a clean plate everytime - many do not realize that it is rude and discourteous to other patrons in a restaurant when they bring their dirty plate with all the bones and stuff - to the central buffet table to serve themselves more.

Eat as much as you want but start with a clean plate every time.

I am not shy to take what I want and however times I want. This is me. After all, it is strangers that are looking at my serving portion - who cares? If they think I have piled on too much on my plate and noticed that I went there for the 4th time, hey, they have a problem. Not me.

Thing is, I am not overweight or anything. I do not know where all the food goes. My height/weight ratio is just ideal. Perfect. I work out very intensely though - 5 times a week. 3 hours each time.

I know it won't stay that way if I continue this. So, I have already started to realize this and started to cut back.

These are my decisions. No one can tell me what I can and what I cannot do.

Hope this answers your question clearly.
