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.

I would say 4 with chips and peas or beans for a fully grown adult, but can see how a growing teen would be able to eat about 6.

I only ever have them in a sandwich and then I have 4/5 depending on the size of the bread being used .

2/3 for a child depending on age
3 for an adult
3/4 in a sandwich

Yes, they’re scoffing chocolates/sweets/etc after. Nobody gets fat if they have more than 3 fish fingers.

I’d give an adult at least 6, for their main evening meal. My dinky little 4 year daughter eats 4.

Me & DH like 5 each . We aren't overweight but are also massively piggy 😂

As any as can fit on a buttered piece of bloomer

Part of his reasoning is a happy meal
is four nuggets so an adult portion would be double so if we convert to fingers 8 fingers. Haha

Literally 8 or 10 what is with the 2 fish finger thing!
My 1 year old eats two, are we talking about the Birdseye size fish finger?

4 is a child portion. 6-8 for an adult.

"Give a man a fish he eats for a day etc" So I expect to feed an adult a fish sized, plate of fish fingers.
I assume the fish to be held in two hands not wrangled off the end of some 250lb strain deep sea fishing line.
And I hope there is a massive salad with it.

I'm calorie counting at the moment.

I had 4 standard birdseye fish fingers yesterday with 2 potato waffles and weirdly some m&s tarka dal. Came to 620 calories and 220 of those were the dal. I was neither hungry nor satisfyingly full. For me 4 is about right. Dp has 5.

2 would need some substantial sides to make it into a full meal for me.

Only on Mumsnet will you get someone declare they couldn't possibly eat more than 2 fish fingers..... honestly it's like another world.

I would inhale 2 possibly 3 whilst plating up!! DD (9) who has the appetite of sparrow eats 4 🤯

I have 3. Because when I have 4 the crumby coating gets my mouth dry. 3 isn't enough though.

Maybe I should have 4 and give a child the case for the 4th.

i just can’t get over all the ‘beans’. Sounds disgusting!

Standard sized - 5, with chips and beans. Or chips, mushy peas, beetroot.

4 fish fingers = 440 calories, 1/3 of a normal adult female caloric daily intake, I’d say you are overeating.
Unless you all work at the docks…

atleast 15

Your slightly fucked up attitude is possibly why you’re fat.

Di you have good and bad food too?

2 for me but they would be served with a full salad and chips.

4 is plenty

I assume the fish to be held in two hands not wrangled off the end of some 250lb strain deep sea fishing line.

I would LOVE a massive fish-sized plate of fish fingers, just for me... all neatly lined up.

3 in a roll, 4 in a sandwich and 5 with chips and peas (I don't like beans).

6-8 for any self respecting adult 😊

Mumsnetters love a competitive undereat! Surprised we’ve not had someone saying they can’t fathom how someone could eat more than half a fish finger
