Is this a reasonable amount of salad for one person for their evening meal?

[Saveusename]

Two celery stalks
One chicken breast
Five baby potatoes
Half a red onion
Cucumber
Four small beetroot balls
One medium avocado
Watercress, rocket and spinach leaves
Chopped feta

With a dressing of anchovies, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and honey.

YANBU - That’s definitely enough. On the large side, even.
YABU - That’s not enough.

This ^

Is a 'beetroot ball' a whole beetroot, or a bit of one scooped out with a melon baller? Makes a rather significant difference to the quantity.

Honestly, it sounds like it's a little on the small side 🤣
Now if you add some flavored rice
Perfect

Sounds like something I’d eat as a student when I had drunk too much beer and raided the fridge and just stuck everything on my plate! It was definitely enough for me, so much so that my after a few months of doing that I had to spend some of my meagre loan buying bigger jeans!

It depends whether you have a hangover 🤨

This.

Christ, can people give it a break. Also, it’s salad. Eat as much as you want of it 😂

That's a lot of onion. 🧅😳

I’m vegetarian, so I genuinely don’t know.

How much is a chicken breast compared to a baked potato the size you’d buy on a high street van?

Om nom nom - can I come to yours for dinner please!

It sounds lovely (minus the anchovies and celery)! I couldn’t eat a salad for dinner in October though, I need some warmth in my belly!

Besides, I’d be close to death from heartburn in the night if I ate that much raw red onion at dinnertime.

300 calories avacado
300 calories chicken
150 potaoes
80 for the beetroot
80 for a small portion of feta

so quite a lot for a normal woman who would normally need 1800 calories a day but healthy unprocessed

A month, surely?

sounds really nice! If you’re trying to reduce calories then too much -one avocado and some (how much?) feta and a chicken breast -
halve those and you’re good.

That would probably be a two person meal for me, mostly on the basis that it involves a whole chicken breast and I couldn't eat more than half a chicken breast. Unless it's a really small chicken breast. The chicken breasts I get, definitely only half. It sounds like a lovely meal I'd enjoy.

It doesn't sound like a roast dinner that's for sure.

To me that's enough for about two-3 people. At least! If you added another chicken breast it would feed about six!

You haven’t given amounts though. How much salad? How big is the chicken? How much feta? I love salad so seems like a decent amount.

God knows avocado has been written enough times here! I thought it was a typo in your previous post.

Six people from two chicken breasts?! At least one per person for me.

If you cook your chicken breasts and then place them in a bowl and use an electric hand whisk it will shred it in seconds. Perfect for a salad. As part of a salad I’d have 1/4 avo and 1/2 a breast and no feta or anchovies.

6 people with two chicken breasts 😆

That’s nothing OP. I treated myself to 2 LARGE tandoori chicken legs for my tea tonight. With half a pack of uncle Ben’s, 2 massive dessert spoonfuls of coleslaw, and extra salad-y bits.

I daren’t start my own thread about my tea though, I suspect the church elders would be notified.

It’s more than enough. How anyone could possibly think that it’s not enough food blows my mind 🤯

Eh?

Fuck me, how much do you eat in one sitting if you consider that 'undereating'? 😳

@Thepeopleversuswork

this! It’s loads of food! A very large meal.
