Ok, this is Anecdotal but it is really easy to believe: After intense Cardio (45 minutes or more, and intense, not 60 minutes on a treadmill walking at 3mph talking with someone about how you are going to get your nails done later) the body crave sweets. Runners seem to get a crazy sweet tooth and unfortunately, it negates all of the gains of the run (losses : ) ).
Congrats on the run, I haven't run in a few months, ever since I got the road bike, I really need to get an hour in though to prove I still can.

Breakfast, snacks, lunch, snacks, dinner, snacks.
It is a very stable pattern.

Food is disgusting. All of it.

OK, that's quite weird unless it truly is like that where you live.
I welcome you to my home for sampling what we eat. I'm pretty confident that your opinions will change unless you've got some kind of phobia towards food itself.
My mother makes authentic South Indian food which I usually end up binge eating, my wife makes some of the best curries and subjis of North and Western India, and I can cook some very tasty rice dishes and fast food (just ask in the GIT forum).

Are either of these women available?

I don't fear food, I just never like the taste of it.

May be you're just eating badly prepared food. And the taste is just not one thing. Food can be prepared with so many ingredients and in so many flavours that it's impossible to dislike all of it.

I eat at restaurants sometimes, and it's not any better there. Maybe my expectations are just too high.

I eat and hope it all works out

Man, that's a killer strategy. Why didn't I ever think of it?!

We stopped frying food in ghee when I was a kid because of the risk of clogged arteries.

Parathas are not "fried", they're similar to chapatti and a few drops of ghee will be sprinkled on it after placing it in the griddle for cooking.
Also, a few drops of ghee every day won't clog the arteries. In fact, ghee has less cholesterol than butter.
What kind of fat do you use?

I use a few drops of canola oil when I fry eggs (weekends only).
I'm blessed with high HDL and very low LDL and strive to eat a balanced meal (in moderate quantity) every day. Recently (8 months ago) I started taking a Vitamin D supplement on the advice of my doc, on account of reduced sunlight where I live. My annual physicals have (thankfully) consistently revealed a good body chemistry, but I need to exercise more (even though I'm not overweight).

Note that HDL is an essential component that helps with the assimilation of various vitamins (including D vitamin). Probably that adds to your vitamin D deficiency. Fat is also essential to protect and cushion the vital organs.
There's no reason to intake too much fatty foods and become plump, but fats are not as bad as you think they're. . 
I've Vitamin D deficiency too, primarily because I'm a vegetarian and also because I don't get enoug sun exposure. I'm supplementing on cholecalciferol based on doctor's advice.

Yes, absolutely correct. Many vitamins and minerals are fat soluble and need a fatty medium in order to be absorbed by the body.

I think you could be assuming vanaspati when I said ghee, because some people use the word ghee to mention either. Vanaspati[^] is some horrendous stuff, and I don't ever use it.
Desi ghee is what we use, and it's usually prepared at home from (again) homemade butter.

My daily workout is running for the bus - which I usually miss, then standing still for a long time waiting for the next bus - which is always "Out of Service" (I have quite a collection of photos taken with my phone as they go by), then running to the office when I get off the bus because I am late for a meeting - which has usually been cancelled (75%-80% of meetings seem to get cancelled at the last minute due to some crisis), then running to Burger King to get a breakfast sandwich before they stop serving them - I miss breakfast at home most days because I try and leave early enough to not miss my first "Out of Service" bus of the day.
A similar pattern but with walking replacing the running and a stop at the all-you-can-eat buffet, occurs on the way home in the evening.
I'm not fat, just big-boned.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Have you tried Green Coffee Extract tablets, sure kills the appetite.

No, I'm not going to pop any pills to kill my appetite. I'd much rather eat as much as I want and then exercise more to stay fit.

Interesting article.[^]
The following line, however, confused me.
"Text-based Web browsers such as Elinks or Lynx remain useful even today in some circumstances, such as operating a Linux server without a graphical user interface."
To read a command-line, you still need a GUI, whether you do it locally or remotely. How you choose to view it is up to you. Unless of course you're outputting the server information directly to a printer to read. Then you just need paper; lots and lots of paper.
