To think that two sweet coffees is equal to a meal?

[Mindthegob]

It certainly fill you up
until lunchtime! Costs under 10p too!

Just so I can guage my reply, is this a competitive undereating thread or a competitive frugal thread?

I had a week where I was incredibly busy and under a lot of stress....won't bore you all with the details! Anyway, I pretty much lived on coffee for the week....by the end of the week I felt incredibly weak and ill. Had a big meal and a glass of water and instantly felt better.

Add a couple of cigarettes and you'd have a perfectly balanced lunch too.

If @hamustro is being sarcastic please accept my grovelling apology- I've been here long enough to think it was very possibly serious 😬

Surely nobody could eat that much.

With the added bonus that you can then swan about on Style and Beauty asking if you look sufficiently French.

YABU to put sugar in coffee

this ^

No worries! My real stance is that two sweet coffees is definitely not equal to a meal, though if I've dunked a whole packet of biscuits it might keep the hunger pangs at bay for half hour or so😀

I know IABU putting sugar in coffee 😁 Idk though.

So all of you eat breakfast then?

Yup but not when I was younger though.
I don't take sugar in coffee though 😁

It’s a competitive frugal thread- I am skint. Had a pot noodle and bowl of pasta with pesto yesterday- under £1!

My guess is undereating 🤷‍♀️

If you want / need to be competitively frugal buy veg. Same price and calories as a pot noodle and so much healthier.

Guessed wrong!
That sucks.
Any food banks near you?
Have you kids to feed too?

I have coffee for breakfast. Keeps me full enough till midday.

I don't often eat breakfast. I just have a coffee most days..not for financial reasons though.

Potatoes, pasta, a loaf of value bread and value jam will all be better than just a coffee.

I hope things improve for you

Nah, I ate half a McMuffin on a hangover in 2017 and I’m still full now.

I find carbs are cheaper than veg. Rice, pasta, potatoes, bread

Yes, I eat breakfast. I don't like sugar in my coffee though.

According to your theory, instead of eating breakfast or drinking sweet coffee, can I can just eat two spoonfuls of sugar?

You see, you can never tell!

Op, no - two coffees isn't the equivalent of a breakfast, although you can fool your body by depressing the appetite with coffee if you eat like that for too long, with pot noodle for lunch you will begin to see nutritional deficiencies in the long run.

Thank you! It’s actually really filling!

The sugar certainly keeps you going but you also need the coffee for energy. One without the other won’t work.

Are you 30p Lee op?

No nutritional value and bloody depressing.
