To ask what you think of this typical food intake?

[ivyball]

This is what I’ve eaten over the last 7 days.
Does this seem like too much food to you or not a lot of food?

I have used the term half a pack instead of (450g) cheese and 100g nuts because I thought people would be able to imagine a 900g block of cheese and 200g pack of nuts easier as that’s how they come.
Does this sound like too much food or not enough food please?
I typically eat one meal a day in the morning and pick on cheese and nuts sporadically for the rest of the day.
This is because I need to eat until I’m full or I will still feel hungry after so I eat a big main meal first thing as it works for me and I feel full.
The cheese and nuts are because of a craving for cheese. I love my cheese.

Way too much cheese and nuts. I love a chunk of cheese with a digestive biscuit, cathedral city lighter and digestives lighter.

Just have some carbs, go on

The reason you need to eat so much cheese is because you are only eating one proper meal. One a day is not enough.
It's forcing you to binge cheese and nuts.
If you ate in a more balanced way you would need less calories

450grams of cheese a day!!!

Your poor heart 😭😭😭

Agreed. You are depriving your body of carbs. Your brain needs it

It seems like you only eat fat and protein. I know there is a bit of veg with some of your main meals but no carbs or fruit or variety of veg so little fibre. I mean I can’t eat cheese or caffeine (de caff still has caff esp. five cups) so it wouldn’t work for me.
You are kidding yourself if you think you only have one meal. You’re eating over three meals of calories - just from a constant cheese and nuts buffet.

Are you intentionally low carbing? If so, the fat content isn't necessarily bad.

I'd say it's a lot of cheese, though! And I love cheese.

Why are you asking?

I think is absolutely right, I go to the fridge and crave cheese so it’s hard to come back with something else, then I fancy nuts which gives me the taste for more cheese. It’s a vicious cycle.

All that cheese and no vegetables. Do you ever manage to go to the toilet? Why do you not have a balanced diet with all food groups?

I'm not sure I believe this is anyone's real diet because 450g of cheese a day is madness and probably your full calories for the day at 5'2". Also picking through the day doesn't change the amount of calories so is irrelevant.

A male Olympic champion weightlifter on this diet would probably need to cut some calories! 🤯

What’s your goal ? 🤨🤷🏻‍♀️

Is it too much, well yes…approx 27,000 calories is excessive.

I love cheese as much as the next MNetter but........
Maybe have a few Cheddars crackers instead for a cheesy hit? All that cheese must be costing a lot. Quite apart from the calorie cost.

Zero carbs, zero fruit and veg?
That is an insane quantity of cheese.

your first day according to ChatGPT is about 3300 kcal and extremely high in fat. Not exactly healthy.

There is no way of saying whether it is too much or too little food because we don't know what your goal is. What is your weight doing and does it correspond to your goal?
Generally, this seems like an odd way to manage food intake for me. I'm not big on "three meals a day" myself. I have a large breakfast and dinner and maybe do more of a picky lunch.
I can't imagine eating all this cheddar every day. I'm not massively worried about fat - I am quite skinny and I also do crossfit, olympic weightlifting and dance which amounts to six days a week of strenuous exercise. However, I think there are probably more exciting things to eat (including more exciting cheese varieties) which may be more nutritionally smart and more satiating.

Half a roast chicken picked at.
Snacks - half a packet of 900g cheese and half a packet of 200g nuts to pick throughout the day.
5 cups of decaf coffee.

So you have half a roast chicken when? At breakfast? And then nothing else apart from cheese and nuts?!

Why do you not have any pasta, potatoes, rice....?

I mean half your diet sounds ok (tuna, salmon, vegetables eggs etc) but the whole set-up is very odd and bordering on ED territory....

Research volume eating for some meal plans, if you're feeling like you need to eat a lot to feel full. At the moment it looks like you're eating a lot of fat and protein, but not really eating enough fibre, veg or carbs.

Yeah I'm baffled because it sounds like the OP is on some mad diet.

But then eating 450g of cheese every day?!?!

Too much cheese, too many nuts, too many eggs, not enough fruit/veg, not enough carbs. That's not a healthy diet. Do you get a bad stomach and lack energy?

Have you got an eating disorder? I'm being serious.

I agree.

"Do you ever manage to go to the toilet?" - I can only assume that's what all the coffee is for 😂

Very funny OP

I like it!

Oh crikey. 🤣🙈
