AIBU to think bacon sandwich lunch is not greedy?

[AliceNotInChains]

2 small slices of bread (from a 400g loaf)
3 rashers of bacon
1 small tomato
a slice of cheese.

a family member says it’s greedy and fattening. For breakfast I had 2 weetabix and have had nothing inbetween.

Guys, there's a lot more to this than a bacon sandwich (delicious as they are).

I think its sensible to assume that the OP manages to eat a variety of other foods, and doesn't live on bacon sandwiches 24/7.

She's jealous!!!

I know people like this

They wouldnt see a ham sandwich as anything out of the ordinary or different or 'big' or something

But a bacon sandwich or fried egg sandwich or some other hot filling, perhaps sausages, would be seen as a big lunch or larger than your bog standard cheese sandwich

Im not sure I see the difference. Its a filling between slices of bread

Depends on your overall daily intake and how much exercise you do. A bacon sandwich on its own cannot be ‘fattening’.

ah I wasn’t sat lounging, I was sat painting a cabinet for her

Maybe she eats lots of veg/fibre with her evening meal.

Is this true...and if so, why???

Everyone is different. Ignore people judging a meal, they’re not worth listening to

I want a bacon sandwich now. Crispy. With brown sauce.

She had weetabix for breakfast. For all you know she might be having a fibre laden evening meal. The bread could be wholemeal, she doesn’t say. One meal doesn’t affect your weight or digestion. If I got constipation from eating one bacon sarnie I’d be round the doctor’s pronto. It’s not normal.

It was one meal ffs.

Bread has fibre

Anyone on a restricted diet who can't be around people eating normally is never going to be successful at keeping weight off.

A bacon sandwich for lunch is totally acceptable and her telling you it's greedy is annoying. However, anyone who show's up to 'furiously' unblock my drain for me can basically say what they like TBH 😂

Do you get constipation every time you eat something that doesnt involve a lot of fibre?

I had a mini babybel today on its own. Will I need the senakot?

I had the same for my lunch, it was lovely.
I fail to see how it is 'greedy' and what you have to eat is nobody else's business anyway.

Where on earth are you getting your numbers from??

A slice of cheddar is 100kc, the bacon would be maybe 160kc and about 150kc average for two small slices of white bread. So unless the theres 600kcal in her slice of tomato it’s nowhere remotely near 1000kc and 410kc is a perfectly acceptable lunch

Yes because I enjoy it and it keeps me satiated and lean.

Liquid lunch! There's your issue, your relative has a food issue. Enjoy your food. Sounds good and normal to me.

I bet her weird milkshake thing is full of chemicals.

It's so tempting to say something like 'what a shame you can't trust yourself to just eat normal food instead of this chemical filled crap'.

Yes, that's a rude comment but she (relative) started it. Shouldn't dish it out if you can't take it...

That person has a horrific relationship with food but tbh you coming on mumsnet for justification and telling us how many grams your bread it doesn’t sound great either

😂OK

Maybe?

Tell her not to be rude! It’s a totally healthy lunch option. Unless you also added half a tub of Lurpak, of course?
