Post your wierdest eating habits here!

Examples:

-I like to eat frappuccinos with a spoon.

-I eat the chocolate off of chocolate covered peanuts, and throw the peanuts away...

(Someone may have already started a topic similar to this).

When I was younger, I used to eat all the cream from the inside of the E.L. Fudge and put the cookies back... so when the rest of the fam wanted cookies, there was no chocolate filling.  Don't worry, I don't do that anymore haha. 

But I do eat the skin on a kiwi!

this could be long...im very ocd :D

• when i was little i only ate the outsides of egg rolls. then i decided they were gross and only ate the inside with a spoon. now i don't eat them at all.
• i eat muffins by eating the edges very slowly and then scarfing down the middle.
• when i eat my boca burger for dinner i slather it in hot sauce (yummy) and then eat it in a circle. and it always has to be in the upper left corner of my plate.
• i always eat dinner in order: salad, muffin, boca burger.
• when i was little i always ate a nutrigrain bar after tennis class. it would take me literally hours to finish it.
• i eat mixed nuts one at a time, in order. almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, peanuts, then brazilnuts.
• when i eat yogurt and oats i eat the oats off the top and have to eat them all before i start the yogurt.  and i have to be reading something, usually the newspaper.
• i HATE eating in front of people. well, duh, considering all the weird habits i have :D
• i always eat grapes in multiples of 5. usually 15 green and 15 red.
• i always eat sliced apples. i eat the skin off of a slice and then the white part. and i eat from small to large slices. our apple slicer has issues so they never come out the same size.
• i eat mini peanut butter pretzel sandwiches like oreos - separate them, eat the plain pretzel and then make a double one with 2 peanut buttered pretzels.

more to come!

Okay.

-I would eat all of the green M&Ms first, then the next color, and so on

-I would eat the juice part of the lemon, then eat the peel.

I have to have a cup of black coffee first thing in the morning and be drinking it while I read my chemistry textbook.

When I eat pudding or yogurt, I just dip the back of the spoon in the container and lick it off, instead of taking bites.

I hate eating in front of people because they scrutinize everything I put in my mouth.

I split my saltine crackers in half (like i peel the top layer off) and then i stick peanut butter in between and eat it. mini pb sandwich!

I put salsa on all of my ham and cheese sandwiches.

i eat baby food. the good custard stuff. :D

Another Obsessive/Compulsive person. I have so many weird eating habits (that I pray I grow out of one day) that it's almost unimaginable.

~I don't eat beef or pork unless I'm going to starve to death otherwise.
~I will starve to death before I eat any seafood.
~I refuse to eat any foods that have touched any non-sanitized surface (ie. countertops, forks, fingers, floor).
~I fill my glass up 3/4 of the way- never more, never less.
~I will only eat green peas on top of mashed potatoes.
~I only eat lettuce and dressing when I eat salad-no peppers, tomatoes, onions, carrots.
~I slice apples, then peel off the skin. I eat the skin and give the apple to my son. I only eat the peel.
~I will not sample every food on my plate. I finish one dish and then start on another.
~I bite almonds in half and then eat the halves separately.
~I have to keep my food level when I eat. I can't allow any one side to be higher or lower than the other.
~I eat in multiples of 5. If I accidentally get 6 or 14 or so forth, I thow the extra away.
~ I don't like foods mixed together. For example: I like chicken broccoli pasta, but I separate the chicken, broccoli, and pasata. I eat the broccoli first, then the chicken, and then the pasta.
~I don't eat anything with my hands. I cut everything up and eat it.
~I don't eat baked potatoes in the skin. I scoop the potato out of the skin, add butter and pepper. I eat the potato and then the skin.
~Whatever I drink with my meal has to be finished within two sips after I finish eating.


This list really could go on for eternity. There's a reason people refuse to cook for me. If you think you have eating problems, just imagine, they could always be worse.

By the way, missybear, I LOVE baby food fruit. They make great snacks for on the go!

How do you "split a saltine cracker in half?? Inquiring minds want to know.

Casper

i cut my food in pieces so i can eat it slowly and enjoy food more and plus it makes it look like u have alot of food

i measure my drinks and food to be precise

I sort Skittles and M&Ms according to color, and then eat them in rainbow order (red, orange, yellow) although in recent years I'll save yellow, green, and blue for last because I like their flavors the best.

Whenever I have vegetables in a mixed dish like chicken broccoli pasta, I eat all the vegetables first unless they're disgusting.

I used to only eat apples and pears out of hand, and now I have to cut and clean them.

I pick nuts out of everything -- fudge, ice cream, trail mix, you name it. 

When i have a sandwich with shredded lettuce, I obsess about not letting the lettuce fall out of the sandwich.  I want to eat it all!  (So shredded lettuce has become annoying.)

I will measure to the nth degree my milk, water, fruits, vegetables, etc. to make sure I'm getting a complete "portion."  But when it comes to junk food, I hedge.  (Figures.)

Back when I ate string cheese, I would peel it into tiny threads and stuff them into my cheeks (like a chipmunk).  When they were warm, then I would chew them.  (Think I was trying to approximate melted mozzarella.)  About the same time I would peel all the toppings off my first and second pieces of pizza, then eat the naked crust, and pile the leftover toppings onto my last piece of pizza so it would have more.

People often laugh at me and say I eat like a squirrel..like the way i hold my food or something. Honestly, I don't see how or I would try to fix it.

I definately like to have a taste of everything on the plate in every bite. (ie a bit of potatoe, a slice of carrot, 1-2 peas, some turnip etc... with ever food on the plate on the fork) but it gets weirder when my food combinations are odd.

I take a drink of water after every single bite, which often results in like 3 glasses of water per meal or more. but, gets me lots of my daily water!

When I was younger I would eat shrimp without taking the tails off of them. I guess I liked the crunchiness. Lately though, I can't eat anything (except for lettuce) without measuring it out exactly. My mom isn't too happy because then she has more dishes to wash.

Pompey, I do the same thing with skittles too!  Only recently have I stopped eating them in rainbow order.  Now I do orange, yellow, and green first because I like them least.  Nice to know I'm not alone.

Most of my weird habits were junk food related, so I don't do them anymore. But I used to hold Fritos in my mouth until they got soft and then I'd eat them. I liked to stick french fries into the bun of my McDonalds burgers so I could eat them all at once. Geez, I never admitted to that bit of gluttony.

Nowadays I guess the oddest thing I do is maybe read cookbooks while I'm eating. It's just comforting I guess. And if I eat something salty, I need to have a little of something sweet to "cancel it out". Vice versa when I eat something too sweet. OCD-lightful.

Every habit I have is weird and compulsive..but I'll only name a few..

For breakfast.. I have to drink my black coffee while checking the same websites every morning, Both activities have to be finished at the same time. I leave my oatmeal on a small table next to me and no one can come around it or else I feel like germs will stick to it. I stir it once while I drink my coffee. I take my vitamins after my coffee and go to another seat to eat my oatmeal. When my oatmeal is finished I sit for at least 15 minutes to digest..

I told you...weird and compulsive.

Um okay.. weird food habits..

-I eat my gushers (fruit snacks) in order from least favorite to most favorite: Blue, yellow, pink, red, purple, orange and green

-I always have to drink my milk after i finish eating. If I drink all of it and then realize that i forgot to eat something, i don't eat it or pour another glass (though that seldom happens)

-I don't like having my foods touching eachother, and i prefer to eat them seperately

-If I'm at a resturaunt I like to order something and JUST get that. If I order fish, I just want the fish, I don't want some nasty sauce or whatever on top of it

-I don't know why, but everytime I have pickles (have to be kosher dill spears from vlasic in a set of three) I crave mint oreos afterwards

-I don't like for the oreo box to be unequal. all of the rows should have the same amount of oreos. This is probably why i always eat them in sets of three

-I don't eat any vegetables except for potatoes. And i hardly even eat those

-For breakfast and lunch when I have school, i've pretty much been eating the same thing since i was like five. Reese's Puffs Cereal for breakfast, and strawberries, a peanutbutter and fluff sandwhich, 3 mint oreos, cheetos or chips or popcorn, and gushers (in that order) for lunch.

-I have a certain way that I like to eat my pickles, but I'm not really going to get into that...

lets see....hmm...

-If I'm eating a salad, the last bite has to have a good amount of everything that was in the salad (and I have to completely clean my plate/bowl of salad ingredients!)

-As with above, the last bite of anything has to be the best bite. It must incorporate everything that was in the sandwich/burger/parfait/you name it in a good amount so I can taste it really well.

-I like to use a knife to cut my brownies, fudge, muffins, caramels, candy bars and cookies and have to eat the piece I just cut before cutting another piece and eating it (and the pieces have to be small!)

-I split my cashews in half, nibble on one side, then crunch on the other side.

-I have to finish a bottle of water in at least 10 minutes or else I feel like it gets contaminated.

Not too odd, but I always eat one thing at a time.

When I eat a grapefruit or an orange, after I peel it, I have to eat all the fluffy white stuf remaining on the flesh before I eat it. For each section, I eat the clear part, then the flesh. I love my grapefruit - they are great without sugar!

When I eat apples, I bite off a chunk and slowly nibble on that chunk. I also have to eat it to the core, or I feel guilty about wasting it (unless it's rotten).

-When I eat cereal, first I pour the milk into a measuring cup, and carry it in the cup, along with the bowl of  cereal, to the place I'm going to eat it.  Then, I pour the milk into the bowl.  This keeps it from getting soggy as quickly.  Then, I stir it all up, and eat one spoonful of pure, ice cold milk before I start eating the cereal and milk together.

-This started with pb&J, but now it extends to all my sandwiches.  First, I peel off the crust, and eat it by itself, before moving on to the delicious sandwich.  It's my way of savoring it.

-When eating something in a wrap, I peel off the parts of the wrap that aren't absolutely essential for holding the filling in, and I eat those plain.  Then I eat what's left of the wrap.

-Lately I have to be reading something while eating, usually a cookbook.

WoW.

I never knew eating could be so complicated.  I was just going to say I like biscuits with tomato on them. 

haha weird...I just shove it in my mouth, chew and swallow.
