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?

What do you think white baguette is?

See message upthread.

This thread would be greatly illuminated if every poster included their BMI and whether they consider having that BMI is healthy for themselves and for society. Essential context to interpreting each comment.

I could eat that for breakfast. For a days food that is a low intake but everyone is different and some people are satisfied more quickly than others. To be accused of deliberately undereating sounds to me like they are ashamed of their over-eating and the OP unintentially triggered their shame.

Spot on.

Yes but it’s a teeny tiny French Spanish baguette

6 chips? We’ve lost sight of what a normal portion is.

(did you count the chips as you were eating them? 🤔)

You’re exactly right. I had butter on a baked potato in 2022, can still taste the grease now.

Give me strength. This thread is bordering on parody 😂.

You’re an amateur glutton and need to try harder!

This! ☝️

More than I would eat but I guess it depends on your metabolism. That amount of food would make me feel uncomfortable.

I eat 4 slices of bread most days plus more carbs for dinner and at least 2000 calories. I'm almost 5'10 and so I seem to burn it up
Your day of eating would have been a diet day for me as I have a very sweet tooth and struggle not to eat loads of sugar every day. Amazed how many people think your intake was loads of food.

Yes but what the op describes seems like a lot more than 1200 calories. If I ate that in one day I would feel horrendous, and actually yes, if ever I do over eat the wrong foods I actually don’t want / fancy anything like a panini afterwards!

Ha ha me too!😂

Really unpleasant food but not more than an average calorie count for a day

Well I'm a a diet and I've eaten more than 1700 calories today!

I can't believe your friend asked you what you ate and you answered like that, sounds like you are both a little obsessive when it comes to food?
I've known some of my friends 35 years and I've never once told them everything I ate in a day.
Too much unnecessary detail, think about something else.

I absolutely hate people who talk about their weight and/ or how much or how little or what exactly they ate! Everybody’s different and many women have some food issues - nothing is more annoying than thin people going on about how quickly they feel full (if like me, you never feel too full, have food addiction, struggle with weight etc.) Or people who ‘couldn’t eat another thing’’ - but then proceed to help themselves to your chips or half your dessert! Using the unpleasant phrase “stuffing your face” (whether about yourself and whether you are genuinely overeating or disingenuously under-rating) is judgmental and crude and likely to be triggering.

Oh my god! 4 slices of bread in a day! Call the carb police! Get over yourself OP, 2 slices of bread / equivalent carbs at a meal is the recommended serving size. What was your main meal BTW - chicken wings and celery sounds like a snack to me.

It's not wholegrain though is it, its white bread = low in fibre / b vits and higher GI

Exactly. People can ingest whatever they like but denying that some of us DO feel overfed on 3-4 slices of bread plus fillings in a single day is absurd.

Many people, esp small / lean people, maintain on 1,200 calories a day, mostly veg and protein.

Well, I’m a foot shorter than you and likely 30 years older.

Wait till all of the 2,000 cal/day ilk hit 60. Methinks you’ll change your tunes and your diets.

Well I have eaten a shit load of food ,scrambled eggs,pasta with chicken,crisps and lasagna today washed down with a few glasses of wine . All ok with me !

Have you ever looked at the size of mid century and antique place settings?

the plates and bowls are teeny compared to today. And yet those people worked harder and moved more than nearly anyone does today.

Also old recipe books. I just read one where 500 grams of mince was the main course for eight people. Dated 1930.

Now that’s considered two modest burgers.

come on.

So your MAINTENANCE is a whole 100, maybe 200 at a push, calories lower than average? Even though you’re four inches below average height?

Who knew we weren’t living in the mid century?
