Just for fun-let’s critique our lunches

[princesspadam]

I know we love to criticise everyone else’s eating on MN.
im sure someone can find something wrong with mine

so let’s see yours

It's a reasonable lunch, not huge!

There's about 110g of salmon and a plate of salad, plus a slice of bread with cottage cheese - max 500 calories.

Lots of colour and variety of textures.

That was 5 cherry tomatoes 😂

I've just gone up to 7.5mg Mounjaro and it's taken me all day to decide to eat something

2 eggs and some cherry tomatoes dry fried with salt. Literally the only thing I fancied

It's all healthy but I wouldn't eat the bread and cottage cheese if I was having that plate of food. That's 2 lunches. And I'm a size 12/14 before anyone starts with the "teeny tiny" stuff. I had a packet of microwave rice with 2 fried eggs on and half a bit of avocado. Then a yogurt.

A slice of sourdough toast, spinach, scrambled eggs, kimchi and black bean chilli oil

Your lunch would have more calories than the OPs!!

I’m stuffed 🤭

I had a pub lunch-a very rare occurrence but we’ve got builders in and it was ds’s birthday. I had a disappointing (aren’t they always?) gf roast beef sandwich, with gravy(yum)on the side to dip my chips in. Morrison’s cheapest own brand gf bread, not toasted or refreshed. But I had half a pint of blackberry cider which was delicious. DS had a red hot Parmo that looked messy but delicious.

Shit, didn’t realise it was a healthy lunch thread!

Your meal seems a lot more in cals then Ops

I think OP's lunch looks enormous because there is a huge amount of volume - probably double usual portion size of veggies. I'd probably feel stuffed after that and be farting like a trooper due to the volume of veg. But calories wise, it's fine!

@Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride it’s not
im out for a pub dinner later so looking forward to that

I had sourdough, smoked hummus, avocado and chilli oil with crispy fried onions that you put on a hot dog (so not lovingly fried to a crisp by me). It's my new obsession. Sometimes with halloumi or egg but CBA today!!

I had lunch in a cafe - a 2 egg omelette with peppers, mushrooms and chopped up vegan sausage in it; wilted spinach; a made in-house potato cake with spring onions in. A pot of gingerbread tea. Delicious.

Leftover chicken Katsu curry, broccoli, strawberries and cream. Was lovely!

I think yours is higher in calories than OPs.

I'm having a very late lunch at the moment, as I didn't eat breakfast 'til mid day today (joys of menopause interrupted night time sleep). I'm having a jacket potato with proper butter, shop deli coleslaw and Red Leicester cheese and a small side salad of rocket, a small glass of Innocent green smoothie and a 160g portion of melon 🍈 😋.

Oh and no dressing on the salad, just a squeeze of lime and some black pepper.

I had a bacon and salad wrap after being unexpectedly been invited out for lunch. Also had a couple of really nice coffees.

I had leftover spinach and potato curry for my lunch. From a lunch box tub because I’m at work so it wasn’t very beautifully presented but it tasted good & felt very zingy and fresh (it was home made last night).

I’m off with a tummy bug so no lunch for me!

Your lunch looks good the kind of lunch I always want, lots of things to fill you up but healthy and well balanced.

I normally have lentil soup and toast, beans on toast or mushrooms and fresh thyme on toast.

Office days I get canteen food! Think this week it was roasted hoisin tofu and veggies.

I had a crispbread with cheese spread on and a big handful of chilli and sour cream crisps. In my defence I took a day off today so didn't prepare my lunch the night before and just couldn't be arsed today.

3 chicken chipolata sausages in a warburton protein thin . Am on a diet!

I had a Big Mac and chips for lunch today. But it was French, so instantly healthy and chic bistro food 😎 at a service station.

Just had lunch 😋

Tuna mayo sandwich with red onion and lettuce on wholemeal bread. A coffee and a packet of frazzles. Made by me in my kitchen.
