2 slices naice ham from deli
1 tomato
1 hard boiled egg
A spoonful of coleslaw
3 slices beetroot
Sprinkling of grated cheese over the tomato

Are we talking 300 or 600 here?

Why on earth is this in AIBU?!

DishranawaywiththeSpoon · 21/10/2018 16:18

If have said between 400-500 depending on size of coleslaw and cheese.

Ham: 100 (could be much less, or more, ham is very variable)
Egg:80
Beetroot/toms: 50
Coleslaw:100
Cheese: 100

Thats about 420. If that's all you had for lunch seems fine to me. I wouldn't have booth cheese and coleslaw if it were me, but it's really not too bad. If you thought of it as a meal rather than a salad I would say it's pretty decent calories. It just seems a lot when you describe it as salad bias a meal it's
Ham
Egg
Veg
And coleslaw which is quite a good lunch.

That's not a salad...there aren't any salad leaves involved? It is just a deli platter

Always one of the AIBU police about to see if all post are AIBU enough to be in AIBU.

To be fair, if your goal is to lose weight and or eat healthier then you could have done much worse than this platter-cum-salad mix.

Have a look at the blood sugar diet and for what little it's worth try to avoid becoming obsessive about calorie counting.

This is my regular salad for lunch. No idea of calories.

I'm not going to guess, mimsy but that egg looks beautifully boiled.

Bluntness100 · 21/10/2018 18:52

I like this, are you under the inoression that adding tomatoes to your meal magically made it a salad?

Hats off to you 😁

Ontopofthesunset · 21/10/2018 19:14

It is a salad - it's a ham and egg salad. Tomato, beetroot and coleslaw are all salad vegetables. The first online definition I just found was 'a mixture of cold vegetables often with dressing sometimes accompanied by meat or fish'.

Bluntness100 · 21/10/2018 20:33

Lol yes, I have tomato beetroot and coleslaw as sides with my steak and chips and call that a salad too. 🤣

@starzig

There's fuck all in the OP about being reasonable or unreasonable though!

Why should this be posted here?!

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 21/10/2018 20:48

I'm just about to eat this salad for my dinner

I only used the term lardy as OP is presumably dieting as she is asking calories Grin for me that’s a fairly decent meal rather than a lo cal salad

I’ll get my hat !
