If you want a good measure then look at the carbs. More carbs approximates to less satiety.

It's all based on where the food sits in terms of its Glycemic Index. High GI foods trigger an insulin release and insulin effectively tells your cells to lower your blood sure levels. Lower blood sugar reduces the feeling of satiety, aka makes you hungry.

By avoiding insulin releases in the first place (sweet/grainy/starchy shit) you'll come out a far healthier person.

The only thing you need to change is your attitude. If you become more balanced (I've noticed a lot of nos and cants here), you'll probably spring back much better.

Are there other things in your life that you can change for the better? The answer may be a couple weeks of enjoying time with some friends or family.

IMO Microsoft is still one of the scariest companies when it comes to the gaming industry. I'm overjoyed to see tricklets of sanity rise up (the PC market)through Valves efforts, but MS is still a very big, very scary beast in AAA gaming.

I guess I could’ve phrased it more carefully. Sure, I think everybody can learn to program, but given the limited amount of time you can spend with each student and their predisposition toward some of the key elements of programming it's just unlikely that you can teach 30 first years how to legitimately program given just a 2 hour lab each week. Keep in mind some of the students are just 'tasting' programming and some students have ridiculous external commitments too.

I tutor people 1 on 1 now, besides working, and it's incredibly better. Never in this scenario have I met anybody who's never had those 'aha' moments.

My experience tutoring at university would beg to differ. Perhaps irremediably bad is not the right word, but as a tutor of ~30 first year students you find yourself almost having to give up on half the class.

Hmmm. Given your financial situation I don't think your problem really has anything to do with 'not being rich'. It just sounds like you're depressed about something.

Why not consider donating a portion to a charity? If anything it may absolve yourself of some responsibility regarding your cynical outlook? Be the change you seek :)
