Please note i'm writing all of the below statements as I used to think them or heard them from someone else (these have OH for "overheard"). You are free to call me a dimwit on twitter. I now know all of them to be wrong, but I won't dive deep on explaining them (might be useful for future blog posts though). If you want to contribute any more let me know and I can put your name if you want to. I'll keep updating this post through time as I hear more.
Your energy
- IT work is stressful so I burn calories from my intense work - I need to replenish them!
- I need to keep my sugar level high for my brain to function and to keep focused.
- I need energy, so let's make that coffee or tea extra sweet. Caffeine + sugar FTW!
- I can't work until I eat/drink X.
- I have an energy drink every morning to start my day (OH).
- I grabbed some mini chocolate candy bars to keep at my desk.
- It's just a small pack of cookies for when I get a craving.
- Granola bars are healthy right?
- A little ice cream never killed anybody.
- Let me go grab a soda.
- I bought a box of donuts for the office.
- You need to have a good, "stick to your ribs" meal so we can get to work.
- It's just a small personal pizza and some bread sticks.
- I ordered fish and chips because fish is healthy.
- Let's just grab a combo and head back to the office. Large please.
- Well I wasn't in the mood for X but the guys were ordering and I said why not.
- If I eat there 6 times I get a free one.
- It's double points if I order a large one.
- I just need something quick so I can get back to work so let's grab whatever's fastest.
- I will never eat raw fish (OH)
- I'm not a cow to be eating grass (avoids salads, OH).
- When you are a big boy like I am you need a big meal.
- Late night change deserves a late night meal (double dinner).
- I'm working overnight shifts now, so I needed to change all my meal times.
- No sleeping makes me hungry. I was literally dying of hunger.
- I switched from normal soda to diet soda. About same test, but much healthier!
- I'd rather save my calories for "good' meals so I do diet soda, diet sweetener...
- It's OK cause it's sugar-free candy/chocolate/ice cream/etc.
- The gym. Who has that much free time? I'm busy.
- I can't cook. Plus it seems like it takes a lot of work and time.
- I can only cook 3 things. I wish I could take cooking classes but i'm busy.
- The guys got together to play sports, I told them I would wait for them at the bar.

- So I take this B vitamin which is better than coffee. It has like 1000% of the daily requirement. (OH)
- These supplements are like eating all the fruits and vegetables you need daily. (OH)
- I heard these supplements make you lose weight.
- (When food arrives and it's too much) Dig in! Don't let it go to waste!
- You have to get the X here. It's huge and so bad for you but oh so yummy.
- I can definitely eat a whole X. Wanna bet?
- What do you mean you're only having one beer/drink?
- (When bringing food for several people) I don't think anybody wants unsweetened tea/diet soda.
- You say you are full, but trust me, you really have to have that dessert.
- Are you saying you can't eat that yummy thing? I'll have it if you don't mind.
- It was such a tiring/stressful day at work. Let's go out and eat a lot!
