#13Interesting, working has the opposite effect on me. This past week I barely ate. I usually get so caught up working that I'll only stop to grab a bite to eat when my stomach won't allow me to continue. I'm curious to see what the distribution is for HNers.
I've I'm working on something sufficiently interesting to get into "hack mode", then yeah, I can work for hours on end without even thinking about food. If I'm working on something boring (but has to be done...), then I'm much more likely to find myself fighting the boredom with an occasional snack.

#14I'm surprised he didn't mention sleep. There is a well- established correlation between sleep deprivation and weight gain. Not that I am acting on this knowledge, particularly. But someone could!

Yea ditto here. I have a lunch at 1 and then work to 10PM without eating.
Such a bad habit, plus I'm so late getting out that I just hit up fast food and eating after 10 is terrible for your metabolism..

How good of an exercise is biking compared to running and walking?

#17One word. Salads.
Man cannot live by salads alone.
But from a diet point of view, a lot of people aren't eating enough fruit and veg. Salads > junk food.

I don't have the stats, but it's an excellent alternative to running because it is lower impact but requires just as much or more cardivascular work (depending on how fast you go)
Plus it's a viable alternative to getting somewhere, you can't walk to work unless it's within 2 miles, otherwise you're going to spend all day walking. Running to work is OK but it's hard to carry things with you.

Eating late at night can be okay, as long as you don't eat within 3 hours of going to sleep. Maybe take a late-night walk as well to help the food digest?

I bike to work, too, and it does wonders for my sense of health. I'm also looking into getting a standing desk.
