Food porn

Do you guys like looking at pictures/TV shows of calorific foods? Or is that just torture for you? Recently I've found myself googling images of donuts. Or like, watching "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." I once spent a half hour watching some guy deep fry things. (Cue Homer Simpson drool noise)

    Yeah, I do. i love watching food programmes on TV and youtube. I like watching stuff that teaches you techniques (MasterChef etc), and the "Food porn" side of it like Man V Food (Adam Richmonds great). Sometimes my appetite is really rubbish and I find it hard consuming 3000 cals a day. If I watch something on YouTube and then try to cook it myself not only am I learning but it really increases my appetite. I just started watching BBQ Pitboys on Youtube which is great for firing up my appetite. Food is there to be enjoyed. Saying that I prefer normal porn ;)

    I also enjoy watching food shows. It sometimes makes me a little hungrier but I do sometimes get ideas for trying the dish but in a more healthier way.

    Yes. Epic Meal Time, Nerdy Nummies, etc. It's fun, looks yummy, gives me ideas. Just because I'm losing weight doesn't mean I can't have yummy foods.

    I am a food show addict. I watch something on the Food Network almost everyday and never miss an episode of Masterchef.

    My favorite in Anthony Bourdain. He travels the world and eats everything (and stays skinny how does he do that?)

    I love food tv. I watch a lot of Food Network or cooking shows. I love to cook, so I get a lot of good info from them. They don't make me particularly hungry because I am always well fed. I love to cook because I love to eat. All a part of the balance.

    ^^^LOL!

    I love food competition shows like Top Chef, Master Chef, Chopped and Food Fighters. I analyze the dishes to see if I can make a healthier version of the same. I even pause the TV and take pictures of the dishes sometimes. My hubby loves it because he gets a wide variety of different foods to try. When I'm in top form, the "plating" is pretty, as well!

    I really don't care much for the over-the-top food commercials showing sexy girls in bikinis eating disgustingly immense hamburgers. I know it's just advertising, but still. I'm sure most guys love them!
