is this over or under eating?

[depthsofdespair]

1 cup of chai
1 toasted tea cake with marg.
1 cup a soup
4 slices of bread
4 M&S chicken pakora
1 pack of walkers fusions (baked crisps)
1 cup of coffee

How does this compare in quantity to what you eat?

Well it would be more than I eat in an hour but less than I'd eat in a weekend

What's the timescale?

Omg. Context please.

I’m not commenting on the under/over aspect, but that’s a terrible days diet in terms of nutrition. Wouldn’t be surprised if you still felt hungry after eating that!

If you mean in a day, that is less than I would eat.

Is that a typical day’s eating?

It's what I've had so far today.

My first thought is not how much/little it is but the lack of vitamins! Where's the fruit and veg?

It depends. Are you 4 foot 9 and 6 stone or five foot eleven and 20 stone?

If it’s for a day it’s around 1000 calories so undereating, and more importantly completely empty calories, no nutritional content at all

Either way, get some green stuff down you.

Under eating, if a day’s diet. Terrible nutrition though- fat too much processed food and not enough fresh. Could do with replacing some of that with fruit and veg!

Is that all you’ve had all day? Or did you eat that in an hour? I think the time scale makes a difference tbh.

I’ve had
A banana
Chicken & gerhkin sandwich.
Ready salted crisps
3 wafer things
Will have chilli & broccoli rice for dinner later
That is it for me for the day but I am dieting

Age, height, active/sedentary...??? But either way it's hardly filling.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE diet

five foot eleven and 20 stone?

Closer to this one :-(

Certainly isn’t a nutritious diet!

Yes, meaningless without a timescale.

It’s probably less than I’d eat in a day (im unsure how big a M&S pakora is) - definitely less hot drinks than I have a day - but if it’s a day’s worth of food I wouldn’t call it undereating.

What’s your diet normally like? I have days like that if I’m feeling ill or down.

they are about the size of a large strawberry

Are you OK op? If you're trying to lose weight you shouldn't be punishing yourself through starvation. Take care of yourself, you deserve it

Not enough quantity in terms of proper nutritious foods. Absolutely terrible day's food - salt, sugar, stodge, little protein, no veg, no fruit.

Undereating but more importantly it's a terrible diet unless it's a one-off. No fresh fruit / veg at all.

Sounds like you need to totally overhaul your diet OP. You can't keep that up, it'll make you hungry and miserable. Get some colour on your plate.

Do you want to talk about your diet? Are you trying to lose weight? Your initial question won't help as it's a narrow snapshot of one day with no detail or context.

Yeah, I'm ok. It's just all I can be bothered to do - I'd not eat at all if I could get away with it. I had the pakora as I thought I was going to faint if I didn't eat.
