Last month most of us learned the details of Michael Phelps’ 12,000 calorie a day in-training diet. He eats about 4,000 calories per meal, more than many of us eat in a typical day. He must eat out, because he certainly isn’t carting around all of his food in Swiss Army luggage. He must spend a while at the table during each meal. That got me to thinking. A funny reality show would be one that showcased people with high calorie diets eating in restaurants. It would be like the time my whole family went to Walt Disney World. My hubby RB can eat a lot. We were eating at the Brown Derby and most of us couldn’t finish our meals, so we offered them to RB. He finished his own plate and all of ours. The plates kept stacking up next to him and the server couldn’t believe that the tiny guy ate all of the food. He actually looked under the table to see if food had somehow made it’s way to the floor.

I don’t mean a channel selling diet pills or anything like that. I mean a channel that dieters could use for support, inspiration and instruction. It could have healthy cooking shows, exercise shows, reality shows and other similar shows. Maybe someone could even create a diet game show, guessing caloric values or something. I find it difficult to believe that noone’s ever thought of this. So, have any of you ever seen a diet channel on television anywhere?

I’m curious what people snack on when watching tv. There are exceptions once in a while, but most of the time if I want a snack while watching tv I want something crunchy, crispy or salty. My favorites are popcorn (microwave, extra butter), Pringles, cheese doodles and Fritos. It’s isn’t usually sweet snacks, thank goodness, or I’d need to consider taking hoodia weight loss pills any time I wanted to watch a show. What do you like to snack on when watching tv?
