To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

It's a lot of cheese which is not good from a saturated fat or sodium perspective. Also lacking in fibre and vitamins.

A quick analysis suggests you're short on folate, magnesium, potassium, and probably vitamin C (depending on vegetable quantities and cooking methods). And the massive quantities of protein (3 times recommended amount) and fat (4 times recommended amount) may well be causing problems with absorbing and metabolising other nutrients as well.

Please talk to a professional about this.

The cheese intake seems OTT, and your fat and protein intake seems very high, I would feed 2-3 people on that amount of protein. I would worry about your cholesterol levels. The main thing is are you healthy and a proportional weight/build? If you are, fair enough. If you're overweight, then you need to cut down. And please have your cholesterol checked.

Don't believe everything you read online guys! 😂

Gallstones and nightmares incoming I would say

It’s not especially high protein but it’s very high fat

No weight but she says in her OP that she’s 5ft2.

I’ve just realised that the blocks of Cathedral City that I buy in my weekly shop are 350g, so OP, you are eating way more than 1 whole block of those a day!! How can you possibly think that’s healthy??

I’m thinking that OP much just be a very large mouse as opposed to a slightly short woman.

She is five foot 2 inches.
We don't know her weight

You’re eating far too much cheese and a lot of nuts. Those on their own come to more than the normal recommended daily calorie intake for women. I don’t think it’s healthy to eat that much cheese.

Not enough regular veg and where is the fruit?

You'd be far better off eating three normal balanced meals and cutting out the snacks.

Many thanks ~ I can't wait to try it! I'll be near a Waitrose tomorrow so hope I'll be able to find it there

I love chives and would enjoy it either with a jacket potato or as part of a MN massive salad!!!!!

That's over 3kg of cheese a week.

I don't think 100g of nuts a day is excessive from a health point of view.

No, she won't say. I can't see how she could possibly be anything other than morbidly obese, which is probably why she won't say.

OP doesn’t seem to want to tell us that.

@NigellaDelia im going to sound crazy but I just remembered I once whipped it in the magi mix with chilli flakes and had it on toast with avocado 😂. It was delicious but too messy to do frequently

You are also consuming over the recommended weekly limit of alcohol for women, of 14 units. Two bottles of wine a week is at least 18 units, possibly quite a lot more. Check the label.

Between the alcohol and the fat, I'd be slightly concerned about your liver.

otoh, I am now fantasising about two bottles of wine a week and a daily 'snack' of a pound of cheese

Just for another point of reference for an average family-

We have 500g of minced beef to make bolognese tonight. We will cook it with onions, mushrooms, peppers, a courgette, tinned tomatoes and then grate a couple of carrots into the mix. When it's cooked, half will go directly into the freezer for a lasagne next week.

The other half will go comfortably between 2 adults and a child with 75g pasta per adult and 50g pasta per child, and a healthy sprinkling of grated cheese on top.

So, in summary, the amount of beef you eat in one sitting is enough to serve my whole family for two meals.

It’s in Morrisons, and they’ve started stocking it in Asda, Waitrose and Ocado. It’s catching on! ENJOY!!! I love the one with chives. I also love the plain one on ryvita with a sprinkling of zaatar.

Hilariously I was once eating it whilst speaking to a friend on the phone who left the UK 10 years ago, and she told me every morning at 11am she would have a pot of the one with pineapple 🤣. I haven’t tried this one.

Haven't read every page. Do we know height/weight of OP?

"I really recommend the Longley Farm cottage cheese - I hate cottage cheese and would flinch if someone recommended it to me, but honestly that range is DELICIOUS, so rich and creamy. It’s 250kcals a pot and 30g protein, a great breakfast for a cheese lover"
@SlightlyTerrifiedButPolite I've seen this recommended on MN before and really want to try it. Please could you tell me where to buy this ~ I can't find it in Sainsburys
Many thanks

You are most certainly nutrient deficient but not because of insufficient cheese.

Why are you not answering anyone asking about your weight?

OP is your goal to lose weight? As a cheese addict over here you just simply can’t have it in the house. Limit yourself to the individual portions each time you go into the supermarket. A serving of cheese is 30g - brutal I know - but you’re eating over 10 times a normal serving. It will create cholesterol issues over time. I can’t even handle the small individual portions but the less you eat it, the less it has a hold over you. I only eat cheese when I’m eating out and don’t have it at home. I would be massive.

Try grating a strongly flavoured cheese like Parmesan onto your omelettes but which is hard to binge on just as a straight cheese. You get an intense cheese taste but without the calories.

I can promise you the cheese addiction can be broken. I could eat chain eat blocks of cheese left to my own devices but now I don’t buy it but will have it in restaurants.

Nuts are lethal calorie wise and are designed literally for weight gain. We eat them year round, but if we were limited to local produce they are produced in autumn to aid winter fat stores for animals. Literally. They also are really high in omega 6. They are little fat pills.

You need more protein and would be better off eating three proper meals a day, rather than just one and then eating a tonne of cheese and nuts.

I really recommend the Longley Farm cottage cheese - I hate cottage cheese and would flinch if someone recommended it to me, but honestly that range is DELICIOUS, so rich and creamy. It’s 250kcals a pot and 30g protein, a great breakfast for a cheese lover and a cheese addict in recovery.

I’m not sure what a good nut substitute is but hopefully if you eat proper meals you won’t be grazing like that

@ivyball what do you weigh?
That's an horrific diet and your poor liver.

afraid i have to go on about your high dairy/cheese intake ( i wonder if its possibly a record 🙂).
I’m interested you survive with so little roughage in a day? I thought every1 was striving for at least 5 portions of veg/fruit per day? & some will even go for 10 😳. These would fill you up & get your digestive system a good bit of exercise too.
You mention you’ve wondered about possibility of food allergy. I’ve actually heard that some folk can have a high desire for the 1 thing they’re allergic to, tho haven’t looked into it.
I actually do have gut disturbance from cheese, but really enjoy it, so I always dilute mine with plenty of; either, apple or pineapple.
