Is this too big a portion?

[fishfingergate]

Context that my dad said he couldn’t believe I was eating “all that”
don’t judge the oven food, it’s Thursday and I’m tired!

I would have 4 fish fingers and a couple less of the potato things, same veg but each to their own if you’re hungry and a healthy weight.

I am slim (borderline underweight) and would eat that minus 1 fish finger.

This isn't a criticism but as an aside, your plate itself is quite big. If you are trying to eat less (not saying you should!) I think smaller plates can help with this.

I think we’ve lost sight of what a normal portion of fish gingers is 🤣 (joke, eat as many as you like, I’ll wait to be told I’m a competitive underwater and for someone to refer to this as upf crap…)

Totally reasonable portion size. Hope you enjoyed it!

Here's some examples of my portion sizes. Watch the competitive under eaters go! As I said, I'm a healthy bmi! I need volume when I eat!

I would eat that no problem. I’d possibly still be hungry after depending on what I’d eaten that day. I’m a healthy weight, BMI of 21.

It’s not a heated argument, we send each other pics of our meals
here are 2 of mine, and 1 of his. Feel free to play guess which his is….

But how is the OP going to know who is a competitive under eater and who just couldn't eat that much?

I’d eat half that amount at the most.

For a healthy adult thats not sufficient as a main meal, unless both breakfast and lunch contained a variety of fruit/veg, enough protein and carbs. Its probably enough if you’re six, or aiming to weigh the same as a six year old.

Fully agree. Looks good Op😋

I'd still be hungry tbh, as it's not proper food and not enough carbs for me (not judging, I dish up the same on days I'm in the office).

I am very active and have a healthy BMI if that's relevant.

Not enough for me 🤣

According to Birds Eye, a serving is 4 fish fingers at around 250 calories. I'd say that's reasonable.

Yes I like nothing to touch! I mostly use them for salads as if I have a salad I have a full bag of well, salad
I can’t cope with ketchup or mayo touching my chips/fish fingers before I eat them

My 11yo DD would eat that portion easily. She’s tall and slim.

My 17 year old has a five fishfinger sandwich for lunch! But he lives in the gym.

It's about comparable to one piece of fish and a handful of chips. Which no one would call over indulgence.

That would be a perfectly acceptable meal for me. With another 10 minutes in the oven tbh.

Honestly, I just wouldn’t eat that at all. It looks really unappealing to me. I would likely have a fish finger sandwich (3 fingers) and fruit.

😂

Your dad (and everyone else) shouldn’t be commenting on what you eat. Your body your choice!

I had fruit and fibre cereal, flaxseed, freeze dried strawberries and banana for breakfast
lunch was a buffet so cheese salad sandwich, cake, handful of tortilla chips, grapes and a mini Aldi dark chocolate

It’s a lot. I’d have the same amount of veg, maybe 3 fish fingers and half the potatoes. I’m a size 16, not your classic mn competitive undereater.

Go on, I'll play... is the measly pasta portion your dad's? 😮

I’m a healthy weight, I’d eat that for a yellow dinner night easily
