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!

2 fish fingers, a few potatoes and veg is what I'd feed a preschooler! I'm not a big eater at all and rarely finish a meal, and even I don't think OPs dinner is too much at all for a grown adult.

Are you quite sedentary?

Three fish fingers, chips, beans and a slice of bread and butter, tomato sauce on the side. I want that now !

Eating normally? I don’t know what’s so hard about understanding that people have different appetites.

I wouldn’t eat that much. Who the fuck cares.

@GalaxyJam no, I'm lying!

I would be buttering some bread as nothing beats a fish finger sandwich.

I couldn’t/wouldn’t eat that much but I am post menopause and post chemo and both have massively affected my appetite (although sadly not my weight)

I prefer battered fish fingers to be honest.

I’d go 4 fish fingers (pack of playing card size of protein I was taught), I wouldn’t have fries like that, but a fist size full. Unlimited veg .

so not far off…maybe if you’d stacked the fish fingers more it’d have looked less 😉🤷‍♀️🤣

2 fingers, 3 max. Potato thingies & veg, I’d eat no probs.

Maximum surface area for fat absorption. I wouldn't eat them personally.

As to portion size, it all depends what your weight is, which you haven't responded to.

But sweetcorn OP... food of the devil 😈
Love those fries though; I'd swap a couple of fish fingers for more fries thanks

I'd have at least 6 fish fingers, possibly 8 for dinner. My primary DC will often eat 6 fish fingers. Possibly slightly less potato to balance more fish. So to me it's a perfectly reasonable portion.

You did start it. And I’m not the one who cant understand that people do things differently. It seems to be tricky for you.

I think it depends on the person. That would be a normal meal size for me all the way up until 40 and always tall/slim. But after 40 I gained a few lbs eating like that, so now I need to reduce a little.

I'd eat that plus more veg. I'm active and petite. We are all different!

Probably all of the fish fingers and none of the fries, bit of the veg. I have a very small appetite though and your pic looks totally normal. Your Dad's chops and chips though! I mean, yuk, how unappetising

I did them in the air fryer, no added oil
overweight, 5ft 11
weight is down to a few things including inability to exercise post op for a while and a fucked thyroid but always hungry. Can’t do WLI

Anyone else fancying that for dinner?

I’d probably go for 3 fish fingers myself. But I wouldn’t be judging that as excessive.

Hope you enjoyed your dinner op and can Get an early night

I would usually have more than that for a main meal, but your mileage will vary based upon height/activitiy levels/muscle mass/snacking

You, apparently, as you keep replying!

Is that nice to eat? Genuinely wondering.

I might eat a few less potatoe things but definitely I'd eat 5 fish fingers and the peas. I don't like sweetcorn so I wouldn't eat that.

It's barely enough for a child.

I’d eat that easily and I have an underweight BMI.
