Would you expect another evening meal after a 4pm pub roast?

[Dinnerargument]

If you had a pub roast dinner at 4pm; would you expect to have a dinner that evening?

Please settle an argument with my DH…

No.

A pub roast is easily my daily calorie intake (if not more), so I would make sure I had no breakfast that day, never mind an evening meal after.

No definitely not. Maybe some cereal (or biscuits!) later.

This.

We had a full roast dinner around 2 o'clock and have been for a long walk and played board games since. Adult children are considering whether to have toast, cheese scones or a variety of snacky things (cheese twists, nuts, crackers, pitta chips etc). DH has said he could force down a hot cross bun. We have very healthy appetites but none of us would even contemplate another meal.

So you would only eat one meal all day?

Nope, that would be a raid the fridge and get something yourself if your hungry

Definitely not.
Anyone who wants to can help themselves to a sandwich or cereal later on. No way I'd be cooking.

What no i mean he can stick some toast on if he is hungry, he basically had an early dinner didn't he?

Not a proper meal but some kind of snack or sandwich makings around to have.

No, I'd just want soup or cheese and crackers.

No, absolutely not. Anyone who wants another meal after that is a gannet.

I’m the same, the three courses we had earlier is over my daily calories. I’ll be adjusting this weeks allowance to compensate for today.

No chance. That’s why I hate eating early in the day because then I feel hungry later on, but not hungry enough for a meal. So I never know what to eat. I know there are plenty of things I could have, but I always feel really grumpy and am aggressively dismissive of all suggestions🤣

I will as it’s well over my calorie allowance for the day.

No that would be enough. My DH would maybe make a sandwhich or toast later on for himself.

No, but a snack. 7 year old DD is yet to understand the concept of a big lunch and always expects a dinner no matter what we've had in the day.

Yes, if it’s as calorific as a pub roast. Especially as I usually have a pub roast with a beer/glass of wine or two.

I don’t think it’s unusual to regulate your food intake to accommodate heavy restaurant meals and the like?

Today we’re at PILs’ for Easter lunch. We had so much food I am currently horizontal on the sofa recovering. Naturally I didn’t have breakfast and won’t be having dinner tonight.

God no.

Not a full dinner but I'd have something mid evening. Maybe soup, cheese and biscuits, some fruit. A toasted sandwch? There are lots of nice, snacky things that fill a small gap and don't take much preparation.

I can be a big eater and that's too much for me. We had a roast at home at half one and I'll have a sandwich later maybe, that's plenty. Two cooked meals in a day is greedy in my mind.

No nothing. This is why the country is fat.

Absolutely not. As others have said, a snacky tea like hot cross buns or toast or sandwich. There no way though I would cook another meal.
My children know that they have to feed themselves tonight, there is chili in the fridge and lots of pasta//bread/tuna/pizza/jacket potatoes etc they can make themselves.

God no

Yes, agree - I watch my calories and if it was more than my daily allowance, I'd make it my only meal of the day, regardless of when I'd eaten it.

No, but maybe a small snack at 8pm ish.
