Do we really need a lot of foods??

[Natsuu]

They have no option in space so yeah they must eat what is available but the problem is that in our houses we have lot of available food and its hard to resist.

In my part  as now I am diabetic ? I only find foods twice a day  with in 16 hours apart .

consuming small amount of carbo , large amount of veggies and some protein from fish meat . .

Right?? Food for astronauts are different. They have limited storage when theyre in space so they carefully design astronaut diets to meet nutritional needs while considering factors like weight and preservation. They are not meant to stay there forever and eat like that forever.
Everyone just need enough food to live. Some are just privileged enough to have more and some are unfortunate tonhave less. The best we can do is to share and eat food as we live right?

I'm not really into food , I only eat twice a day and I hate sweet foods (aside from fruits of course)
so basically i only consume so little from what OP is asking maybe 2 pounds of meat and a little pasta and side dish?

and also determined by our budget? because even if we wanted to eat more but we are
not capable to buy more then we may end dieting 

you eat 2lb of meat but cant afford vegetables..
try 1/4pound of meat 2x a day (half lb of meat a day) and use money saved to add more sustenance to the mix

meat and pasta doesnt give you full range of nutrients. add some vegetables or ingredients with varied flavouring

Nyah personally, i don't need that much of food during a day, i just need a little bit for my stomach, just to help it not to disturb me during the day or in work, yes it's good to each a lot and to have a good consummation program, and eat healthy food and, but it's nit danger if you eat just a little bit

[Captain50]

Of course I am not willing to compromise on food because food is a very favorite thing for everyone especially the variety of food is very interesting for us and the flowers give us great satisfaction so we must never compromise on this food.  I don't think it will so food is very necessary for us to maintain our body shape in our daily life

[Reatim]

Our Body demand only enough food for a day , but this is depending in what we are needing and wanting to our body , some wanted to gain much so they eat a lot , some wanted to maintain their fitness so they lessen their intake and others wanted to lose weight so they tend to eat even lesser .
what we need to understand is too much is bad and too less is also bad.

[bitterguy28]

Nope we are not , just have enough for a day mate.

[Cgrexp]

Astronaut just eat a pill containing multi-vitamins, and they also just drink the recycled water from wastes.

They do not have the luxury of sending a lot of freshly prepared foods from the earth to the moon everyday.

How much food do you think we need to live comfortably?

10 pounds a day of meats and cheese?

Food intake should be balanced according to the needs of each one of us for good health and proper use of natural resources.For a human being to eat 10 pounds of meat and a cheese a day is a bit unrealistic, wasteful and unhealthyThe daily need for quality food depends not on the quantity of food, but we should learn from the astronauts how to achieve more with less.

[SAFGJX]

The amount of food each person needs for our comfortable life depends on the person's age, gender, amount of physical work, health condition, etc. It is seen that children and the elderly need more food than adults.
Because they are much weaker than adults, they need more vitamins.
On the other hand, if people eat more food than they need, they will become physically ill. Because people have a certain amount of vitamins that they can take naturally every day. Whenever the amount of vitamin-like food increases beyond this, the human body will be affected by various diseases.
So I think every person needs natural food to stay healthy.

[SAFGJX]

Well, all your body needs is calories which should be 1800 calories per day for a person to be healthy, so its your choice how you want to take it and how much you want to take it, so if you concede more than your body need then it becomes fat leads to obesity and if its upside down the body will take the energy from the stored fat but its just usually a backup which can work for a while.

Although I agree with you, calories alone cannot meet the vitamin needs of humans. In short, we need a balanced diet every day.
Which will meet our daily vitamin needs and we will all be able to live a healthy and normal life

[BADecker]

Do we really need a lot of foods??


YES

[Mehmet69]

yes I need more food. Because, many people come around me who can't eat properly in 1 meal. So I need so much food that I can feed them properly. The lack of clothes is not that much, the lack of accommodation is not that much. But the lack of food is much more difficult. So I want more food.

It is important for our body does get the right amount of calories. Or we will not be able to live a healthy life. What you say of the astronauts I did not know this is how they survive up in space. 

The astronauts does this only because he does not have any choices.  I do not think there will be a time for humans to want to have his own water from his waste.
