How long does a bacon sandwich keep you going for?

I had a glorious bacon sandwich at about 11am - back at home in Ireland for Christmas, and the bread and the bacon is WRONG where I live ordinarily so can't just have one whenever I like. How I savoured my sandwich.

Still not hungry. 4 rashers of bacon and 2 slices of bread (standard white pan) which is probably vital information.

I've just looked at all the delicious stuff in the fridge and cupboards, but cannot do it justice yet.

How long does a bacon sandwich stave off hunger for you?

A good half day.

Go for a brisk walk and you’ll be up for another one.

Bagelsandbrie · 18/12/2021 16:32

About 20 mins. Then it’s time for some chocolate to wash it down with….Grin

About 3 weeks, then I go back to the 1.5kg chicken leftovers I have left from Easter.

White bread is the problem. Have wholemeal & it will satisfy you for much longer. If I have eggs bacon & whole meal toast for breakfast it keeps me going for ages.

ShirleyPhallus · 18/12/2021 16:34

I’d say about 4 weeks. Maybe a thimble of water and a single grape to keep me going for another week

Then I might have a massive salad and that’s me for another 3 weeks. Anyone who says otherwise is a greedy bitch honestly

Fluffycloudland77 · 18/12/2021 16:36

Hour and a half or so.

RedPandaWanda · 18/12/2021 16:37

I can go all day on a bacon sannie but I don’t have a big appetite though. Love a bacon sandwich just wish it was healthy enough to have every day, really struggle with breakfast normally.

SophieHatterPendragon · 18/12/2021 16:42

Depends. Thick door stop white load with thick cut rashers prob for a mornings

Crappy bread with thin barely there bacon about 20 mins Grin

Strokethefurrywall · 18/12/2021 16:45

Bread bloats the fuck out of me, so an 11am bacon sandwich would probably see me until 6-7pm. I’d be proper hungry by then though!

Crinkle77 · 18/12/2021 16:46

I would probably start getting peckish around 3/4pm so would have a light snack like crackers and cheese to keep me going until tea time.

AnxiousWeirdo · 18/12/2021 16:46

About 20 minutes 😂

DeepDeepThought · 18/12/2021 16:49

I had a massive salad in 1996 and haven't eaten anything since. Well done for contributing to the obesity crisis OP.

AbsentmindedWoman · 18/12/2021 16:50

Ok, I've just started on a plate of cheese and coleslaw as writing my post made me quite hungry Grin

Until lunchtime? It's not something I think of as being particularly filling.

DeepDeepThought · 18/12/2021 16:52

Gluttony.

Mushrooms0up · 18/12/2021 16:54

Similar to above - I’d have a snack about 4ish after a bacon sandwich to see me through the dinner. I definitely wouldn’t need a proper lunch

Bluntness100 · 18/12/2021 16:55

Did you actually eat all that? Four slices of bacon nd two slices of bread? That’s a shit lot. No wonder you’re not hungry.

On the other hand..for most people it depends on whar physical activity you’ve done, what you ate the day before, are you feeling well etc.

Moaningturtle · 18/12/2021 16:56

Bacon sandwich at 8am would see me to lunch. At 11am would need a snack at 3pm

Half a day

magicstar1 · 18/12/2021 17:02

Was it Brennan’s pan? That bloats me up and I’d be full for hours. It does taste the best though lol.

Livedandlearned · 18/12/2021 17:02

I can't believe someone would eat a whole grape to themselves.

Yes, I did actually eat all that, but now eating again as realised I wanted cheese. Had a bracing walk on this beach, but that's for physical activity.

Unsure if this was a serious reply or sarcasm that went over my head, though Grin

that's it for physical activity even
