Maybe it was the shock factor! Like when you see an accident and then when you remember about it, your memory makes it so much bigger than it actually was?
I definitely remember feeling surprised by what/the amount they ate. Didn't seen like they were restricting. Just ate kind of like normal teenage girls which was surprising. Not a salad in sight. I mean a single fried Oreo dipped in I team is probably 150 calories or more. Plus the pasta and pizza, they prob ate around 500 cals which I suppose wouldn't be bad if they haven't eaten much throughout the rest of the day.
