Eating less or more?

Do you find, since you're staying in the house more now, (if you are), are you eating less than you used to? or, is the frustration from staying in making you more hungry? Of course, I know when you have a "significant other" to feed, it makes a difference.
I'm eating less, but when my husband died and I stayed home all the time, I got really thin! Do you think there is a correlation?

I'm eating about the same, maybe a little less. So far am able to keep up the low carb/gluten free diet. Most of the food in the house is compliant with my diet.
Last weekend my daughter-in-law was going through my "goodie drawer" looking for something to snack on and didn't see anything she wanted. I call that success!
I shopped today and was able to get quite a few gluten free items. There were many empty shelves in the food section, but the masses were leaving the healthy stuff behind. 💁🏻‍♀️
I think whether you eat comfort foods or lose your appetite when stressed depends on your own personal way of dealing with it. Food made my sister-in-law physically ill when she was going through a rough patch and she dropped 60 pounds of weight because of it.
I tend to cook more comfort foods during trying times. I need more chocolate, too.
 
I'm eating more; probably due to boredom.
Whenever I'm wondering about something, I always think the answer is in the kitchen. :)
 

I’m eating the same, I keep my weight stable but have an ‘anything goes’ day on Saturdays which yesterday included a bacon and egg roll, some sweeties and two small cakes

If anything, it will be the lack of exercise for me, but I’m planning on working out some kind of structure for my day to include walking and online exercises as life has changed so dramatically
 
I think it's true that we think about food more when our minds are less busy. I wouldn't say I'm eating more but I'm thinking of different ways of cooking the foods I have. One does tend to get in a rut when there isn't time to spend on cooking.
 
I keep busy. Almost all my curtains in my house are clean. Since cleaners won't come now, I guess we will be cleaning even more. I cook more at home and plan meals better now that we don't eat out anymore. I may do some takeout (like pizza). Hubby and I have lost so much weight in the last couple of years, WE ARE NOT PUTTING IT BACK ON BECAUSE OF THIS VIRUS.
 
Business as usual here. Some things like pasta, flour and chicken have proved difficult to get because of panic buying, but generally we're well stocked.

It's supposed to be spring, but it's still cold here. I'l going to make potato and leek soup for lunch.
 
Nothing much has changed except for my breakfast. I've eaten 2 eggs with a cup of coffee every morning for years now that they are limiting eggs I've switched to oatmeal. I want to have enough for the hubby and any baking I might do. I really do love oatmeal but find I get hungry earlier than usual, I guess protein and fats hold me longer than the carbs and it doesn't look that great on the scale either.
 
No restaurants now and I'm aware going to the icebox out of boredom is bad new so I and eating less. I miss Thai food.
