Well, it is entirely possible that she doesn’t know, which would make it pretty hard for you to figure out. People often have a really mixed up bundle of motivations. I mean, it wouldn’t be that unusual to love food, to associate good food with special occasions and good things, to like the feeling you get after eating rich food, to enjoy the ritual and socialization that often comes with food, to find food sensuous, to enjoy rebelling against the idea that women should be eating diet food all the time, to take some pride in her body and that she can comfortably eat more than can skinny women (both in terms of comfort and without affecting her weight), to enjoy the positive feedback she probably gets from you for enjoying her food, and to enjoy flirting with the taboo doing things that could cause her to gain weight.

Is that a foodee or a feedee? Lol. Throw in fresh romance, and it is even harder to tell, probably (people will often deviate from their long-term normal while enjoying a new relationship).

Anyway, outside of this community ‘foodee’ is more often ‘foodie’ and implies someone who is more of a gourmet, who really does almost live for food, but for the tastes and experience, not necessarily a big eater of ordinary food. So unless she’s hung around places like this, she probably doesn’t even have the vocabulary to start classifying what she likes (if she cared to classify it, many people don’t). So I’d think the only way to find out would be to ask her a lot of questions, and I’m guessing you are reluctant to do that or you wouldn’t be trying to guess.

I suppose the safe thing is to assume for now that she is more of a foodee?
