I also had a grab bag of crisps and 2 Quality Street if that helps at all..?

Two Quality Street? How common, You should have had two squares of good dark chocolate.

Gosh, that is an absolutely obscene amount of food. That would last me and my family of 6 at LEAST a weeks worth of lunches and dinners.

Look, you are all failing. Tonight I had a massive salad in terms of calories and volume. It was a chicken doner kebab and fries salad. I meant to take a photo but half of you would have heaved and the other half been too jealous for words.

white cabbage, red cabbage, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber and then doner meat, fries and the perfect dressing, burger sauce. No pita and it was eaten with cutlery.

No. It is salad as a meal.

All I want is that pesto now! I’m not sure why I saved this thread for now - waiting for the bus post gym having not had breakfast. i might make some pesto later and hope it’s as da boom as the one from the cafe you frequent. Enjoy your single lettuce leaf penance OP x

From memory: lettucey type stuff (maybe lambs lettuce?), cherry tomatoes, cucumber, gherkins, olives, various seedy bits, feta and pesto

Mmm. That sounds right up my street! I'd be very happy with that.

This is a massive salad, OP yours is just a normal lunch.

Not massive no, looks lovely though.
I served this chicken Caesar salad to my other half last night and this was apparently insufficient for a “proper dinner”?!

I'm in a MumsNet quandary.

One the one hand.... "OLIVES?!?! Do you know how many calories there are in OLIVES?!?!"

And on the other hand that Caesar salad is a Nice Little Lunch, but a Proper Dinner it is not.

And now I'll get my coat.

I thought the olives might have swung it, but epic fail… (am really trying to encourage better food intake volume here, hence the complaint, maybe I went a bit too far..)
What is life without olives though???

As a main meal - no. I think it looks like a nice lunch portion. Wouldn’t keep me full as an evening meal unless there is some chicken in there. It would be too big for me as a side salad.

I like the cut of your jib 👌
