Grandpadigr was a logger. I can remember Popdigr telling about what his dad would eat.
He once ate three rabbits for breakfast. This was with biscuits, eggs, bacon, grits, and probably a pancake or twelve.
It's truly insane the fuel your body requires for high energy labor.
I always ate a big breakfast, a light lunch and a large supper when I was trimming trees.
And that's how you get to weigh 305 lbs after ya quit trimming trees, but keep eating like you're still trimming trees.
BTW, I'm down from a 44 inch waist to a 36. And I weighed 213 lbs last time. Yay me.
