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!

It’s not my usual type of meal and TBH I would have had bread but had a sandwich for lunch. Trying to eat up some freezer stuff so I can make a lasagne and freeze it

I think its pretty common for your appetite to reduce as you get older - so makes sense its a suitable serving size for you and too big for your dad.

Wrong!

So if you know you eat less than is healthy for an adult, why comment suggesting the OP was eating too much?

God this reminds me of the bangers and mash thread a few years ago. I said that I thought 2 sausages was very little for an adult and would give that to a small child, one poster said they only gave their child half a sausage. Half a sausage!

Recommended portion size for fish fingers is 4, so that doesn’t seem excessive if you are especially hungry. I don’t think I’d want them with crisps though. Need proper potatoes!

😮

The one with no veg is your dad's?

They’re potato waffle fries

I think your dad's is the one without any veg!

Well spotted!!!

You’re reaching. If you’re trying to create drama you picked the wrong audience. It’s very telling you jumped to that

My very slim 6 year old would eat that and ask for more

One fish finger would fill me up for a week.

Well , I’d shove all those fish fingers in a cheap white bread sandwich with too much butter. I’d have the veg on the side .

I'd have had that portion size prior to starting Mounjaro... those fishfingers look grim though sorry! 😅

I couldn’t eat that many fish fingers. Actually not sure I could eat any fish fingers. 🤢 And I’d want more veg, but I don’t think overall it’s a massive portion.

4 chops though, he's hardly one to comment on 5 fish fingers

If I’m starving I would eat most of that. I would have less chips and put the fish fingers on a butty.

The only thing I would change is to add more potato.

In any form, waffle fries, wedges, just pile them on!

They’re cheap ones but weirdly have less additives and more fish than the £££ ones when I looked
they’re also probably out of date but frozen so…

i wouldn’t eat that much as it won’t leave room for my obligatory after dinner chocolate bar! I also would have had mushy peas…

and solidarity. Thursday is pizza night here

I’m slim (BMI 20ish) and could easily eat that. I’m pretty active though, I guess it would be a lot for sedentary people.
