If you were having a sandwich/sandwiches…

[Soooootired77]

For lunch, how many would you have/how many pieces of bread?
I came home at lunch from work today, I’d had no breakfast as rushing in the morning, so was hungry and had what I’d call two sandwiches, four slices of wholemeal, cereal type bread with tuna salad on. My mum was over and was saying how a sandwich at lunch was to her just two pieces of bread and a filling.
Mum is v slim, naturally but also doesn’t eat/want to eat much. I admittedly do need to lose a bit of weight, but I was hungry and aside from an apple afterwards, I don’t then eat until dinner.
Is this excessive/not that normal?
How many would you have for your lunch?

Two pieces of bread, plus filling.

Two slices of bread with a filling.

@IamSmarticus Just that? No fruit, yoghurt etc and if you’d not eaten until 1pm?

I'd have 2 slices for my lunch if i was having a sandwich, but if id had no breakfast, I might have 4 slices.

I do usually always have breakfast (usually porridge and berries) though so wouldn't normally be in a situation when I needed to "eat twice" at lunch.

1 sandwich. 2 slices of bread and a filling.

Two slices of bread and filling, washed down with crisps, fruit, chocolate…

or a 1/3 of a French stick, which would fill me up more.

@MyBloodyMaryneedsmoreTabasco But would you have nothing else? Especially if you’d had no breakfast and wouldn’t then eat until dinner?

I might have a packet of crisps as well, but you only asked about the sandwich 😉

Meh I'm with you. yanbu x

A normal sandwich is two slices of bread. Surely you’ve seen the 1000’s of sandwiches on the market in pret/Tesco/boots etc to be aware of that.

Two slices of bread plus a filling. Usually a packet of crisps as well.

Two slices of bread with a filling. Usually have some carrot & cucumber sticks on the side and a packet of crisps.

I'm a big fat fatty but my sandwiches are two slices of bread, one filling, plus some crisps on the side.

You said it yourself: you were hungry.

Eat when you are hungry. Perfectly reasonable.

2 slices of bread plus filling.
Plus apple or salad.

Probably wouldn’t eat extra due to no breakfast.

What is cereal bread?!

My downfall is bread 😫I need to cut back, it’s just so simple and quick to make a sandwich…I don’t have the crisps & choc with it though…wish I could 😁

Two slices for me usually, but I wouldn't say four slices when hungry is outlandish, disordered eating!

I'd normally only have one sandwich (i.e. 2 pieces of bread), but I would a) never skip breakfast and b) always have other stuff as well as a sandwich. In your situation I would have been ravenous and could easily have eaten 2 sandwiches!

2 slices of bread and filling. And I need to loose weight. I often don’t breakfast

2 slices of bread, but crisps and fruit or yoghurt as well.

Pretty much as you'd find in your average high street meal deal!

I'd have 2 slices plus filling with a tin of soup. I don't eat much for breakfast though, maybe a cereal bar.

No, that's two sandwiches.

The original poster ate four sandwiches. It's still fine.

Probably 4, but split into 2x2 over the afternoon.

If I hadn't had breakfast it would be three slices of bread or two small rolls. Three slices means you can have two complimentary fillings and not worry about it falling to pieces.

Also some crisps or pretzels, carrot/cucumber sticks and some fruit and maybe a chocolate mousse or something Two mugs of tea.
