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!

All these people saying "half of that at most" - are you really going round eating less than half of the recommended portion sizes?

Even primary schools serve 2-3 fish fingers per kid.

Yeah but with a mahhhooosssiivve salad, should be ok. 😋

Also, they make your dinner look bigger than it is 😊

Place marking for when the posters who have only eaten a teaspoon of dust and 3 ice cubes since January 1st to turn up.

Why do you think I couldn't handle it?

I just happen to think it's daft 😂

I was literally forced to buy another box the other day as I had 2 left in the old one. That's no use to anyone.

Another competitive undereating thread! Fishfingers are about 60 calories each, so 300 calories for them. By the looks of it no more than about 200-300 calories for the potatoes, and less than 100 for the veg. That’s a light to perfectly normal main meal unless you’re very short, very sedentary, or choose to eat all your calories in wine and chocolate. I’d have 4 fish fingers with two slices of bread and butter for lunch.

Looks fine to me...I've been known to have 6 fish fingers (but obviously only when bought in box with multiples of 3) but I bloody love fish fingers and would probably have with just salad and lashings of tartar sauce or garlic mayo.
2 fish fingers is just silly.

The OP has 5! What exactly is the issue with saying that some of us would only eat 2 or 3? Who cares??

Or is the only acceptable reply to this thread that we can eat all of it and more.

I'd have 3 fishfingers, a portion the size of your veg of peas & sweetcorn, another portion of the same size of brocolli and no waffle chips.

But that's me. You do you.

Oh, they're here already. Apparently this is a ridiculously huge portion and they'd all eat 2 fish fingers, 4 fries and some veg and be stuffed 😂

At least there’s not been much bickering. I live alone so was wondering if my portions were off as I don’t really eat with anyone often

That completely depends on what else you have eaten throughout the day. The diet is a whole picture not just a snapshot.

I really couldn’t give a shit. Who cares what other people eat.

So if I am hungry and shovel it down quickly, that means I demonise eating? Have I misunderstood?

Too big

You can say whatever you like - other people are allowed to find it ridiculous though.

lol at some of you saying you only have 2 fish fingers.
I see the competitive undereaters are at it again.

It looks fine to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A third of it? OMG I couldn't possibly force that much down myself 🙃

For someone who "doesn't give a shit" and keeps telling me to bore off, you're very quick to reply to all my posts 😉

It's fine

nah, i dont eat fish but size wise my portion would be bigger. I’m on like min 2200 calories a day though 😅

I normally just have the one fish finger. With lots and lots of steamed broccoli and some salad with light dressing.

That’s a pretty standard meal size to me. I’d probably eat that but with more veg. I’m normal BMI, healthy appetite. Hope you enjoyed it.
