      yeah they probably just eat much smaller meals. but just eat a lot of them. in fact a lot of body builders will eat like 5 smaller meals everyday instead of the typical 3. so the idea isn't exactly unprecedented.

      @point-five-oh6249 Před 2 lety +115

      Well they are also half as big as the average adult human.... I feel like their size also doubles their metabolism. Especially considering most Hobbits were really hard workers too, from farmers, to gardeners, brewers, potters, ranchers, etc. If you've worked EXTREMELY hard, you'll know just how fast you get hungry too, but those are mostly like a snack type of hungry, not a full on meal.

    • @nexidal9656
      @nexidal9656 Před 2 lety +55

      Yeah. If a small body is working half the day, it needs an almost constant recharge of energy.
      And it'd mostly small portions, enough to go back to work. Only the three main meals would be big. And not even that big, since they would've eaten something not that long ago.
      In the end, they eat the proportional food of a human worker, but spaced along the whole day.
      [Party feasts like Bilbo's retirement are another can of worms, they're special occasions]
      Edit: plus, once the body gets accustomed to the hours of eating, it will regulate metabolism to adapt to it. You can't eat like a hobbit once and call it imposible, you need to do it for an extended period of time.

      Except pippin ate 4 lembas breads. One bite of which fills a man's stomach.
      Assumptions being that "fills a stomach" just means an average meal and not literally to the brim, the bread has around 4 bites (Its been a while, and I remember the bread looking bigger, but 4 bites makes the calculation huge already), and hobbits have half size stomachs compared to men.
      All that means pippin ate 16 meals that would satisfy a full sized man and still seemed fairly hungry. And that's assuming they're only 4 bites large.

    • @ThreeGoddesses
      @ThreeGoddesses Před 2 lety +30

      @@DarthZ01 lembas breads closest irl equivalents are either bannock (which, btw, isn't exclusive to the native Americans but also to the Gaelic area as well), or hard tack. Lembas isn't magical, either, as far as I know. Which just means it's a honey, fruit and nut bread that's highly dense in carbs. And hard tack, along side a beverage (normally water or an alcohol) and some cheese or jerky were the daily rations for many a man in the past. So if you take lembas bread as a non magical food, that's just nutrient rich and dense with carbs, then in theory legolas (my phone wants to say Legoland lol) saying you can fill a man's stomach with just a bite isn't erroneous. I've had bannock, and it's very much something you can nibble on during a hike and stave off hunger for hours. I've had modern hard tack, and it's lesser then bannock in that regard. But the thing is, I've also sat with my family and eaten ALOT of bannock during a campsite cuz I'm bored. So, I think what legolas actually meant in his needlessly flowery way of talking alot of the elves in the books had, was that in a pinch, you could eat just lembas bread for days, and stay comfortably full on small rations.
      And pippin isn't your average hobbit. He's immature and impulsive for much of his adventure and only matures once he realizes the state of the world. Also, he didn't know that lembas bread was intended to be eaten in small amounts.
      Further to my point, though, is that after Frodo and Sam get seperated from the fellowship, they eat appropriately for the rest of their journey and their lembas stores last until the get to Mount doom.

      That depends on what Orc Lore you use. Pathfinder Orc Lore is different from Tolkien's, which is different from D&D Orc Lore. From my findings, most Orc Lore describes them as carnivores, while they can eat non-meat, they don't get any nutrition from it.

But i can eat quite alot. My average is 5k of calories a day. Sometimes 8k. I have my main food time 2 times a day. The rest are snacks. But not your avg snacks. They are healthy ones. Fruits, vegetables, nuts sometimes sandwichs , ect... but the biggest are the fruits (lots of apples +15 , + 3 big bananas a must). My biggest meal the first one the breakfast. The second and last is at around 4 or 5 pm. No eating at night ,but just drinking. No alcohol, no drugs of any kind or type , no pork too. Use your hand more while eating, you would eat more. Cue faster , like increase the frequency of your mouth so that after eating it hearts to talk. Drink water before, after and in between the food. Alot of water access the day. Very heavily good middle eastern food. Middle east, North China and North India (without hots) food is the best in terms of how good it is and how healthy and how much you will eat. If you eat 2k or 3k calories a day you will with this eat 2+ times more.

    You mentioned that you were feeling really good between meals. People's blood sugar tends to drop at about the 2hr mark depending on what you eat and biochemistry. When you eat, it spikes your insulin since your body has to take care of the excess sugars. When your insulin level spikes your serotonin levels also spike and thus you feel happy. It's why some people end up addicted to food, particularly if you suffer from depression. It literally makes you feel good.

    The concept of Hobbit civilisation seems to revolve less around food preparation; the planting, farming, harvesting, preserving, preparing, and ultimately cooking of not just the next meal, but all future meals. All hobbits would live in what is essentially a "kitchen village", its economy based on the buying and selling of each other's produce. As a result, the hobbit physique is moderately athletic but "well padded".
    Also, my theory on hobbit feet is that they are not proportionally bigger, they just appear that way because their entire race/species have never worn footwear of any kind. Unlike the human foot with its squished-together toes, the hobbit foot's toes are widely spaced, the skin slightly thicker on the upper, and the soles both thick and wide like the pads on dogs and cats (and the soles of overprices running shoes). Thanks to their natural habitat, they have never walked on anything harder than grassy meadows, dirt roads, and wooden floorboards; however, the stone floors and streets of human civilisation might wear on their soles after a while (like that captive tiger or bear in some rich idiot's "private zoo" with concrete floors).

    One thing to remember about hobbits is that their society is very agrarian. Anywhere they go, they walk.

      You also have to account for the author's perspective with the meals, we are talking about a British author who grew up with these meals. So a little research shows 3 of the 7 meals listed are supposed to be tea with a light snack, not full-on meals in their own right. Supper and DInner are weird because 1 of those would be a large meal, but the other would probably be like an appetizer meal. None of this accounts for any of the meals having dessert either, so we could actually be talking about an 8th meal on occasion.

    As someone who's hypoglycemic, I eat like this daily, so if I may, I'd like to inform you guys of how best to have done this.
    Starting off, your 1st, Luncheon, and supper are your three big main meals. Next is 2nd breakfast, elevensies, and supper, these are your smaller meals, slightly bigger than a snack, but smaller than your full meal. Then finally you have your afternoon tea, this one you did fairly spot on, keep it simple with things like fruits and cheeses, or you can make this your sweets meal since cupcakes and the like pair with tea so well. Other than that I'd say you guys did great in surviving a hypo's meal day.
    Sidenote: This has also brought an interesting concept to mind for me. Since our human bodies see the overuse of one's pancreas, and therefore an increase of natural insulin production, as a detriment, but someone like me who IS hypoglycemic can do this and be fine, what if the pancreas of hobbits/halflings naturally developed to produce a larger amount of natural insulin, hence why they're able to eat twice as much as a regular human and feel just fine?

    I always see this meal schedule as maybe how a farmer or rancher would eat. Usually you get up early 5 or 6 ib morning. First breakfast would be something quick to eat to hold you over until chores were done. Maybe a biscuit and quick cup of coffee. Then off to feed the animals. Then your second breakfast which is a full meal. Then off to work again with snacks in between meals for extra energy. Having this much food and thus kind of meal schedule doesn't really work out unless you're a hard worker and busy all day.

    You could eat seven meals, but they'd have to be smaller ones. It's slightly more structured than grazing. If you treat the luncheon and supper like the biggest meals of the day, the rest are basically just snack breaks. Farmers used to eat quite a bit back in the day because they were working so hard and needed the extra calories, so I always figured the hobbits were mostly farmers and the ones that did something else still ate more or less like everyone else because they were used to it. That sirloin looked really tasty!

But i can eat quite alot. My average is 5k of calories a day. Sometimes 8k. I have my main food time 2 times a day. The rest are snacks. But not your avg snacks. They are healthy ones. Fruits, vegetables, nuts sometimes sandwichs , ect... but the biggest are the fruits (lots of apples +15 , + 3 big bananas a must). My biggest meal the first one the breakfast. The second and last is at around 4 or 5 pm. No eating at night ,but just drinking. No alcohol, no drugs of any kind or type , no pork too. Use your hand more while eating, you would eat more. Cue faster , like increase the frequency of your mouth so that after eating it hearts to talk. Drink water before, after and in between the food. Alot of water access the day. Very heavily good middle eastern food. Middle east, North China and North India (without hots) food is the best in terms of how good it is and how healthy and how much you will eat. If you eat 2k or 3k calories a day you will with this eat 2+ times more.

    Please bear in mind, Jackson added the 7th meal. TOLKIEN only had 6. Hobbits "needed" these meals because, in theory at least, they were working hard and needed the extra calories. Just because 6 meals are available does NOT mean we eat all 6 everyday. Consider farmer Maggot and family, who had the one large meal and then went to bed. Not all Hobbits do this. I usually only do 3 meals, with afternoon tea.

    • @missanne2908
      @missanne2908 Před 11 měsíci

      In addition, Tolkien mentioned that Hobbits loved good plain food. The best approximation of the types of food that Hobbits would eat would be that of an Edwardian farmer. As a gentlehobbit, Bilbo would have his meat delivered to him by his butcher instead of slaughtering it himself, but other than that there is no indication of a hobbit haute cuisine for the upper classes. Tolkien was wavered about including New World foods: he edited out a mention of tomatoes in his abridged _The Hobbit,_ but referenced potatoes in _The Two Towers._ A big part of afternoon tea was cakes. It would have been nice it one of the meals had included mushrooms, since hobbits love them so much.

    Reasons to subscribe to Shad:
    1. He legitimate loves medieval fantasy, he loves it so much he wrote a book!
    2. He wants things to be realistic enough that is still believable awhile never ruining the fun of unrealistic cool stuff we love like extremely big swords!
    3. He goes the extra mile to make interesting videos, like entering a below zero lake in a barrel to test if it was floatable.
    4. He didn't beat the crap out of Jazza for breaking his swords.
    5. He didn't beat the crap out of Asher when he beat him in Archery with zero experience.
    6. He developed type 2 diabetes with more levels in cholesterol than his levels in fighter for this video.

    I love how Shad behaves like a drunk in some of his videos despite being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It proves that alcohol is completely unnecessary to have a good time so long as you have good company and a sense of wonderment and imagination. I'd love to have more friends like this band of Hobbits!

      Almost like they get drunk on the atmosphere. Where I come from most people are Orthodox Christian and even the few actually religious among them will indulge in some beer or wine, especially at parties. More common, among those in the countryside especially, is a hard liquor, usually homemade, from plums. I really don't understand why some religions ban alcohol though. I've only ever seen it do harm when consumed in extreme quantities and it's usually the liqour.

    Hey Shad! I am currently reading Rhythm of War and I noticed that you were in the acknowledgements for reference for historical combat, in the book. I've been a fan of yours for a while and it is so cool to read and think "Oh man! That sounds like an addition by Shad!" when reading some of the fight scenes and remembering videos you've made talking about the same topic. The example that comes to mind is when you did the video on the murderstroke in that anime and spoke about stopping an overhand blow mid-swing before it could build up momentum.

Frodo looks back and smiles, knowing he got away with a free bar tab. Shad let’s it go, recalling his own adventures along the way. Making it back to the Prancing Pony in Bree, he pays the tab.

    Serious talk: In general, small mammals have higher caloric needs relative to body size, because their increased surface area relative to volume means they lose heat more quickly and need to burn more energy to maintain body temperature. (there are some species of tiny shrews that can literally starve to death in a matter of hours.) This may go some way towards explaining hobbits increased appetites--they literally biologically have to eat more food.

      Small mammals might have higher caloric needs relative to body size but still won't need to eat as many calories a day as humans.
      Even a large breed dog only needs roughly half the calories of an average man's to maintain weight. And all dogs have a faster metabolism than humans.
      It's simply not that straightforward. And hobbits don't just eat a lot "for their size", they eat as much (or even more in Merry and Pippin's case) than creatures double their size - which of course is complete nonsense.

    A little late commenting here but I have given this some thought. Hobbits are an English based agrarian society so as a former farm kid let me give you my perspective on the Hobbit meals. Now first breakfast to me would be tea and toast or crumpets with jam. Then it's out to the barn to feed the livestock and milk your couple of cows. While you're doing this Mrs. Hobbit will be in the house making second breakfast of bacon and eggs, hashbrowns etc. Then it's back out to the barn to muck out stalls and do other chores then back in for elevenses which I would imaging to be more tea and maybe some cheese, cold cuts and crackers. Then it's back out for more chores and around 12:30 it's back in for lunch of hot soup and sandwiches afternoon tea is well afternoon tea and coffee cake or crumpets then dinner would be cheese, meat, veggies and bread maybe more soup. Finally we get to supper of a joint of meat like a ham or a roast with potatoes and garden vegetables. Still an incredible amount of food but not the championship eating event the boys had.

      That's actually a really good point. Smaller creatures do have faster metabolism. Take a bird vs an elephant. The bird seem to eat less but that's because of the difference in size. If you compare the food/size ratio you would see that the bird has a higher food/size ratio.
      As hobbits are half the size of a regular human with 5 meals a day, it's very possible that real hobbits would have higher food/size ratio. But we have to consider that half the size is not that big of a difference in size, so the higher food quantity would be very noticeable. But even from 5 to 7 meals is not that big of a difference l.
