What’s an adult size portion of fish fingers??

[Boooooot]

Yes I’m posting in Aibu because this is causing ww3 in my house currently.

yabu: 4 is plenty.
yanbu: 4 is a child portion.

Funnily enough I saw this on a meal plan website and they suggested 4 for adults. I'd rather have a piece of fish instead to be honest but if I'm having a fish finger sandwich I'd give myself 4. My 6 year old would have 4 too and 5 year old would have 3.

Why do you only eat one meal a day?

Why does anyone buy the standard fish fingers anymore anyway? They have hardly any fish in them and are mostly breading. Jumbo sized ones are the only way to go.

And you're "overweight and piggy" because of 4th fish finger, not because of being "massively greedy" when it comes to food in general? What an awful post. Hence awful response.

I would eat five but I would not have anything else with it. I am not culturally conditioned to turn every such item into a school-canteen meal with chips and beans/peas. I may chop up a few small salad items alongside.

We only have one meal a day but graze the rest of the day

I do this and do. The kids tend to have breakfast, a picky dinner and proper tea in the holidays too

What?! I didn’t say I wasn’t being judgemental? I was clearly judging. Just pointing out that your ‘holier than thou’ comment was also judgemental. I don’t really care what crap you feed your children, just saying that not everyone has ‘children’s food’.

i thought that for a while, those awful breaded/ battered things generally only contain 54% of dubious bits of fish, the rest being some hideous coating, of which I usually bin one half of, I prefer fish fingers.

I prefer to buy the frozen cod/ haddock from Aldi, Asda or Lidl, batter it myself (flour and water) and fry in lard and dripping. The latter can be reused numerous times, 1970s style.

“You've doubled your fish finger intake just because your DC is at uni?

How utterly indulgent!“

Brain food, innit 😁

Depends on age If I gave mine three they would only eat two. That's how many they got at nursery. (Autism so they expect the same). As an adult though I've never had more than 3.

3 or 4, 2 for a child.

I buy pack of 10 which gives 4 for me and 6 for either DS or DP
they are both 6’4” and I’m 5’4” and dieting
I am addicted to aldi fish goujons in tempura batter though and won’t share a pack with anyone!

5 for an adult, maybe 4 in a sandwich.

And 4 for an 11 y/o.

I’m sure someone has already checked this but my packet of 10 birdseye fish fingers says that it contains 2 adult portions and that 4 baked in the oven is 236 cals. So pretty safe to say that those eating 4/5 each are not being greedy.

Yes I am invested and actually walked to my freezer to check this 😂

I just feel better that way. I never felt hungry in the mornings when I was a kid and that slowly evolved into not really feeling hungry at lunch either by the time I was a teenager.

I eat around 5-8pm depending on when I feel hungry and that keeps me going until the next night. It's just what suits my body rhythm best.

I tried forcing myself to eat the standard 3 meals a day for six months once, but I just spent all day feeling sick from forcing myself to eat when I didn't really want anything.

Btw. I haven't eaten fish fingers in ages- does anyone know if I can find GF ones for DH? This way I could eat gluten ones, and he won't look at me like some sad Labrador.

6-8 in my house

8 to 10.

My mum buys gluten free ones, not sure where from but they do exist.

Her and 2 of her friends have FF sandwiches as a treat once a month (they are all gluten free)

Not at all because the serving portion is made up just to show "acceptable" calories per portion. That is all😁

Birds eye do GF ones , they do them in Tesco .

I usually have 4. Tickled by this going the way of all mumsnet food threads though, which is people saying that a single golden breadcrumb that falls off a fishfinger is plenty to sustain themselves with leftovers and anyone who eats more is an unhinged glutton.

Boo hoo at
@Gymrabbit

Oh boo hoo that someone called you massively greedy. Grow up. Being so childish would only get you a child's portion in this house.
