Do you think that when Jesus ate with other people that He took seconds? Or do you think that He ate just enough to fill Him and then left the rest for all the others?

And Jesus continued: "God commanded your forefathers: 'Thou shalt not kill.' But their heart was hardened and they killed. Then Moses desired that at least they should not kill men, and he suffered them to kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers was hardened yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say to you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also.
Now for the answer to your question:
"And when you eat, never eat unto fulness. Flee the temptations of Satan, and listen to the voice of God's angels. For Satan and his power tempt you always to eat more and more. But live by the spirit, and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third.

are you kidding?
When the body requires nutrients you cant say to the body you have a bite to eat BE filled.
on the other hand, the oppression and economic circumstances of those days was so oppressive that men could not hope for more than their daily bread. The body will survive on less than what science says we need. And God will fill the rest. But what is the rest?
Jesus ate till he was full at times and fasted at other times. was it isaiah that complained about dreaming of being full? Men of god will suffer when the world corrupts their own ecomomic system and God will judge them Wicked

Jesus to my way of thinking had the power to make sure there was enough for all and descretely did so. He said they condemned Him for being a gluton and a drunk so seems since He did not say they were wrong that while I am certain He was not into carousing He ate and drank freely and a lot unlike john the Baptist who ate wild honey and locusts sparingly..
try not to criticize your brothers or boyfriends cuz it will likely make them act worse, instead give them the 3 As acceptance, approval, and appreciation and by building them up they then feeling respected will try and act worthy of the retaining that respect. Thats how men work, feel weak,, act weak,,, feel strong act strong.

I'm sure that if there was enough to go around Jesus had seconds but He wouldn't have eaten food if someone else would not have had enough.
Matthew 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."
Jesus liked to eat as his critics pointed out but He was far to gracious to eat so much that another person would have been left hungry.

He might have ate seconds, however, I am sure that if there wasn't much, he didn't eat at all. He would surely make sure all were feed. Remember the feeding of 5000 with just two fish and a little bread.

Great question. Personally, I think that when he was in the presence of others, Jesus would barely eat, and even when he would, he would eat very slowly and methodically. But as soon as he was alone, I'm sure he would binge as if there was no tomorrow (or at least like he was getting crucified the next day).

I would wager to say he did not waste, cuz when he fed 5000 people, he made sure every leftover piece was picked up. "let us not waste a bit" he said.
As for seconds, I would say he did...as they probably didnt stop travelling or working to eat 3 meals a day...maybe one or two. So if youre working on a meal a day, I would have seconds. He was 100% man and 100%God

St Paul said that Jesus had terrible table manners, he burped, farted and ate with his fingers, use to chip away in other people's plates and always left the table before the end of the dinner to go to the best restaurants to have a free coffee, brandy and cigar (Epistle to Corinthians XII, 23)

I think He ate just to satisfy his hunger. He had control over temptation and remember He did fast for forty days in the wilderness.

Option C...Christ would have eaten enough to survive. As all others ate their fill.
