How many biscuits is a portion?

[TwinklyGoldReader]

Does it depend on the biscuit?! I think the number increases drastically if I’m dipping in a cuppa.

Me and DH have settled on four, but he doesn’t know about the ones I eat before I leave the kitchen…

The OP asked 'how many is a portion'

she did not ask for your judgement, so no, you didn't just give an answer. You made a judgement that says more about you than anyone eating more than 2 biscuits.

A rude, unnecessary, unwelcome
comment.

😵‍💫😳🙇🏻‍♀️

I got a pack of 4, 60p seemed like a big enough investment in the boring little things I'll report back when I've done a condition controlled experiment!

I have a back up biscuit

😂😂

A whole packet, which is why I only buy them - usually Garibaldis orJaffa Cakes - about twice a year.
If anyone gave me e.g. a packet of custard creams, one would be more than enough.

Edit, I forgot M&S Cornish Cruncher cheese biscuits. I can easily scoff a packet in one go, but alas you don’t get very many in a packet.

😁am delighted that you are so receptive to the challenge @DoYouLikeYourNaneFred

Unsure that a measly pack of four could be deemed an adequate portion though 😉

Can't understand why I'm feeling a wee bit nervous tbh but do sincerely hope you enjoy (especially as you have a plan B (iscuit) of your own)

Jaffas ftw 😎

I always thought 2 was a portion, but I don’t know why I think that.

4 would be about the same calories as a meal, so I guess that would be a portion if you’re having them as a lunch replacement!

4 evil little😂Jaffa cakes is 164 calories

4 vastly superior boarder lemon drizzle melts 332 calories.

Two. But I could easily eat far more. Mmmm. Biscuits.

Generally 2-4 but if it’s been a stressful day then it’s just however many will make me stop crying

@DoYouLikeYourNaneFred

Lemon drizzles you say, I raise you their dark chocolate gingers (same calories fer 4) 🤣

I see the gingers and raise you....
...

Dark chocolate and raspberry

This is where the real good stuff sis...

@FlowerSticker

"Dark chocolate and raspberry" those are delicious too, I do agree but....for me, the actual biscuit is too soft compared to the gingers. 🤭

I think 2 is the official 'legal' single serving size but personally I'd only count that if it was the giant supermarket bakery cookies.
If you are dunking then it's til you run out of tea/coffee or biscuits.

I have no self control though so only buy biscuits if I'm planning to eat the entire packet in a day!

None. The correct response is cake. Half a cake. A proper cake. Or a Costco muffin.

One or two

Not a big biscuit person. If I’m hungry I want proper food and if I’m not just tea or coffee is fine

I was going to say the same about jaffa cakes.

One biscuit per family of four to last a week seems reasonable.
I buy a packet once every six months.

Have you always been greedy?

It's shameful out food consumption last week we only got two meals out of a chicken for eight people.

Jaffa cakes aren’t biscuits, they’re cakes. The clue is in the name!
