I made a mumsnet 'massive salad'

[Serendipetty]

In case it doesn't look so large in the photo,that's a mixing bowl. It was huge.

I had salad leaves, red cabbage, spinach, roast chickpeas, mixed olives, avocado and roast sunflower seeds. 1tbsp olive oil. This is alll due to my deciding to eat more plants and fewer UPFs. I dont eat meat and try to limit carbs, my normal lunch would've been faux chicken pieces or similar that I'd dip into anything runnier than them.

The best part is that MFP reckons this to be 912 calories! 912!!!

And I was starving again 3 hours later.

Well it looks lovely OP.
Really appetising.

I very very rarely eat meat and I'm a big salad fan.

I couldn't tell if this was sarcasm or not!

I just realsied that, in an effort to avoid carbs I'd been consuming a lot of UPFs almost every single day.. I lost weight, but any freshness and whole foods were just not a thing in my diet. Trying to change that..900-odd calories though? I know MFP isn't known for its accuracy but I am hoping it got this one very wrong.

912 calories you could of had a pizza for that

I'm no expert but surely unless you had loads of avos and seeds in there you couldn't have gotten anywhere near 912 calories?!

I like this one, it honestly is really filling and tasty. Only thing is if you make it TOO zingy (as is my natural inclination) I find my tongue feels a bit sore so I'll try and tone it down a bit next time.

I really don't think it was anywhere near! No, juat a sprinkle of seeds and less than half of a rather small avocado!

That recipe looks gorgeous, thank you. I love satay anything.

True very true! 😅 I wish I were one of those people who could just eat without any concern about calories but unfortunately I never have been.
