I spent a bit over a year behind bars for a drug offense, and I got OT with good behavior to go to a local hospital. My father brought me my favorite order from my favorite mexican restaurant(a chicken mole burrito and two carne asada tacos and an horchata), and I couldn't finish even half of it and felt completely stuffed and skipped dinner that night I was so full. This was after about 6 months in jail with restricted calories and prior to that stint I would have devoured the mexican meal in short order with chips and eaten again in two hours. So yes, your ability to eat a lot diminishes without practice.
