[Avodah] Hashkafa Question on Sukkah Eating,

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

Avraham spends the entire Chol haMoed avoiding the CHIYYUV of eating in
the Sukkah. Instead of needing to find a sukkah, he adjusts his diet to
eat foods that do not trigger an obligation. He has water, fruit juice,
a hard boiled egg, but nothing to kovei'a any s'uda

Yitzchak religiously washes twice a day and makes hammotzi and benches.
He aims to get in 14 s'udos mamash over the course of sukkos over the
course of the Chag

But Yitzchak also eats several signifcant portions of food outside the
sukkah in addition to these 14 times. Some of them would be mamash
k'vias s'uda, but maybe he has a heter when traveling or at the office.

Haskafically Avraham has srcupulously avoided a bittul aseh, but makes
no brachah on hol Hamoed

Yitzchak makes 2 brachos a day with a definite chiyyuv, but at least
flirts with being mevateil the aseh once or twice a day because he has
non-sukkah refreshments.

Which approach is hashkafically superior?

[One might equate this question with Sur Meira vs. Asei Tov]
