Would you consider this “having stuffed yourself all day”

[ThatJolly]

I was talking to a friend and she accused me of competitive underrating, which i certainly was not doing! I referred to my eating as having stuffed my face all day and she told me to get a grip and she found what I said triggering!

What I ate:

• Scrambled eggs (2 eggs) with veggies toasted sarnie
• Beans on toast (2 slices)
• Half a carton of precut pineapple
• chicken wings and celery with hot sauce
• a child’s plate of ravioli and homemade cheese sauce (this was on top off my dinner and purely a craving, I was full so it was very much not needed)

I went to bed uncomfortably stuffed. So to me i did “stuff my face all day”

What do you think?

The disparaging of OP and other moderate eaters on this thread provides quite a bit of insight into who REALLY has the issues with food. And it ain’t her.

Oh dear, oh dear. Turns out it’s you.

That's really not much.
Yesterday I had:
avocado on sour dough
a protein shake
100g of full fat Greek yogurt with blueberries and a bit of honey
2 100g 5% beef burgers in a protein bagel with 2 slices of cheese, 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce and jalapenos
2 lentil rice cakes with full fat cottage cheese and cucumber
a few fridge raiders
5% meatballs with tender stem broccoli
I probably picked at some melon from the fridge as well!
And i still didn't feel stupidly full at bedtime.

Talking of ‘big starchy’ things, OP went home and had potatoes. So you’re talking shite as is OP tbf.

I literally just watched the hairy bikers on "Saturday Kitchen" eating exactly that in the deep south of America. It is a classic.

OP just ate too many carbs and did not want more.

I live in Spain. That would be a huge amount of unhealthy white carbs here.

How’s your hair shirt feeling?

God the sanctimony and faux Shock in that post is just horrible.

And no, I don’t have a “pudding” every day before you ask @TheHerboriste and no I’m not overweight before you accuse me of being touchy.

I live in Spain. That would be a huge amount of unhealthy white carbs here.

😆😆

Haha yeah tell that to all the Spanish kids that have cacao with biscuits dipped in it for breakfast 😄

Out of interest and really sorry if you've been asked already OP (too long a thread tor was), what would you normally eat?

OP just ate too many carbs and did not want more

yet she went home and had potatoes. So that argument is moot.

she should just have told her friend she did not want a panini and not made a big song and dance about being “sooo stuffed”. Which was a lie as she went home and ate more carbs with her tuna.

No, instead of UFP shit white bread she had good carbs in what you would mock as a "huge salad" with masses of protein and vegetables and carbs.

Not where I live they dont.
They have a sliced bit of baguette with Olive Oil or grated tomato or ham.

Is baguette not white bread?

It is "pan rustico" but I was roughly translating for you into English. It lasts12 hours max.

It was not UPF, made to last a week shitty white sliced bread.

your friend is correct… this is light work 🙄

That definitely isn’t stuffing yourself in my opinion but maybe you have a small appetite

She made a big deal about ‘being stuffed’ from the day before as an excuse not to have the panini and I can guess why - because it’s carbs 🙄

OP admits she doesn’t usually have carbs at lunch, but she did on the day in question, breaking her (completely unnecessary) self-imposed rule. She then tried to make up for her oh-so-dreadful (not!) lunchtime carb consumption by not having any carbs with her evening meal whereas normally she does, as she’s said. So she chose the chicken and celery. However, she then finished up some ravioli and is torturing herself with guilt about her ‘failure’. So, when out with a friend, she’s determined to ‘make up for’ her dreadful (not) carb crime of the day before - by not having the panini.

I find it really sad when women do this to themselves. Just eat normally and stop imposing silly rules on yourself. My guess is the friend was annoyed at the obsession with food and the total inaccuracy of the phrase ‘stuffed my face’.

It seems a lot to me. A normal amount to me would be one of the top 2 then one of the evening meals.

It’s more than I would eat but I’m currently eating in a calorie deficit.
It’s a weird one though because chicken wings and then pasta are, like you say, both kind of “dinner” foods so I probably wouldn’t usually eat them in the same day.

Also the repeated “women need 2000 calories a day” isn’t true. I’m 5 foot 1, I go to the gym 4-5 times a week (only incline walking let’s not get ahead of ourselves) and I do between 10-15k steps a day and my MAINTENANCE is bloody 1800-1900 ish.

I surprised to see no mention of a "massive salad"!

I'd consider that a fairly average food day.

I think it is relative.

For me, it would be overeating as I don’t eat even close to that amount.
For instance I’ve just had fish and chips, I ate 3/4 of a mini fish and 6 chips and I’m sat in the car with my stomach out and window open as I feel so full.

so of you don’t eat much, its a lot, if you do eat a lot, it’s not.

This has got to be the weirdest humble brag post I’ve ever seen.

So far you’ve told us about the calories, that you’re 5’2” and that you hadn’t exercised all day. Sorry to tell you this, but you did ask for opinions, you very obviously have issues with food and body image. That is probably why you told your friend that you had bern “stuffing yourself all day” and why you started this thread (for validation).

That's about a mornings worth of food for me. That's hardly stuffing your face.

Well, it all depends how big the person is, how much they usually eat, time of the month, how much exercise they’d done. That feeling of being stuffed is horrid. I’ve eaten normally for me today but didn’t feel particularly hungry for my tea (I still ate it though!). Another day I could eat the same and feel very keen to eat and really hungry!
Your post is maybe more about the dynamics of your friendship and probably as women, all our more or less slightly messed up feelings about food, eating, body size … shame and shaming.
