to think that cheese on toast is not a snack?!

To me snacks are crisps, biscuits, nuts, that kind of thing.

Cheese on toast is a light meal like lunch or tea if you had a big lunch.

Just watching the Ranganathon, which I think is improved by being online weirdly, and they mention that CoT is the nations favourite lockdown snack!

@TheFluffiestCat

I'd say lunch. Seeded bread *@262 calories for 2 slices, mature cheddar about 40g @166* calories = 428 calories. One slice of cheese on toast isn't worth the gas to cook it.
Yeah but if you’re an active man or teen on 2500 cals a day, a 428 calorie snack is probably pretty reasonable. And if you did one slice at 214 cals, that’s only about 50 cals more than a pack of crisps and you get more fibre, protein and actually filled up!

I want some cheese on toast now xD

Wow, didn’t expect so many comments on my evening meal! Not quite the point of the thread...
I have 2 or 3 meals a day (someone asked). I am watching calories as I put on 2.5 stone due to medication. Yesterday’s meal was pre packaged (home alone and felt lazy) so those are the correct calories.
I don’t have disordered eating, but need way less food to keep me from gaining weight than I used to when younger (1100 maintains, more and I gain). I’m on the upper end of a healthy BMI and trying to get more towards the mid range for health reasons. My doctors don’t seem to find my decreased calorie requirement at all surprising and put it down to age (40s). They are in full support of me eating 800-900 calories a day and don’t think it disordered.
Sure, cheese on toast may be a snack for a teenage boy, but the OP asked if it was a snack or meal for people on here. That includes me!

Do people really just make one slice? Surely you don't feel satisfied with that - I'd always have at least two, but often three (definitely if it is as a meal) because I can fit three under the grill.
