To think oven chips, duck spring rolls and sweetcorn is a perfect balanced meal?

OK, so it's not everyone's idea of a healthy, culinary delight but I'm ill with limited food in the house. Money is tight, so I'm avoiding a takeaway. I need comfort food. This appears to do the trick.

Sounds fine to me, but then home alone in the middle of the week I quite often have scones, jam and clotted cream for dinner

As long as your full and it's not often who cares.

sounds fine.
esp if that's not your daily diet.
has everything: veg, carbs, protein, fat.

After a day christmas shopping, surviving on a McD's wrap and fries, diet coke and tea, I've just demolished a cheese and onion pasty and will be starting on a cream strawberry tart.

Quite fancy the idea of your spring rolls now though...............

I'm sorry you're ill - and in which case, frankly, anything you can be arsed to cook is good enough!

(But - to answer your question - YABU. It is a massively unbalanced meal, with way too many carbs.)

I hope you're better soon, and that you enjoy your meal - that's more important than worrying about healthy food when you're poorly, IMVHO.

Not a dinner I'd have thought of having!

Not balanced by any stretch of the imagination BUT you're ill so anything goes!

It's the kind of meal I eat when I'm using up the odds and ends lurking at the bottom of the freezer. perfectly acceptable, especially when you are ill. Got anything for pudding?

We had fish fingers and pumpkin risotto for dinner. Neither adult in the house is ill. Yanbu!

I knew it was too carb heavy and I don't usually such shite but hey ho, it was nice!

It's got a vegetable in it ffs (and maybe more in the spring rolls?), so by definition it's a brilliant meal. YANBU.

I'm ill and have had a small bowl of oven chips and half a bagel. One of my children is having toast soldiers and dipping them in a small pot of hot cheese sauce, he's had odd food times today and is exhausted.

YaNbu :)

when I'm in on my own I quite often have tinned macaroni cheese for tea I got into when pregnant with dd and suffering from hideous morning sickness as I craved cheap, crap, salty carbs, and it still feels very comforting now!
