[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say you eat salads for lunch, but so what? What do you eat in the morning, in the evening and do you snack?

Do you put sauce / ketchup / soya / salad dressing on your foods? Do you consume a lot of dairy.

It sounds honestly, like you don't have a clue.[/quote]

OP here. No need to be rude. For breakfast, I eat a cereal bar on the way to school along with coffee. In the evening I eat a normal dinner or chicken, fish, pasta etc. I think I may be eating too much at dinner so maybe I’ll add some protein to my lunch to keep me fuller. The only dairy I consume is cheese on pizza every few weeks and a splash of creamer in my coffee. I eat maybe a tablespoon of ranch dressing on my salad. No alcohol. Dessert maybe once a week. Soda maybe once a month. [/quote]

The day should start with a healthy breakfast, this cereal bar is likely 75% sugar and that is setting the tone of your day and leaving you hungry at the end of it.

oatmeal has no sugar in it - you add chopped apples and it's sweet but still, very low sugar. You can also add nuts for protein / calories.

do not eat pizza it is really high in fat and carbs - there is basically zero nutrients in a pizza and its something like 350 calories per slice.

Never have a soda, never have dressing, what is the "protein" you're adding to your lunch? There's a big difference between a can of tuna and a few slices of salami in terms of fats.

You don't have a clue.[/quote]

How tall are you and what do you weigh? You might be trying to maintain at a weight that is too low for your height/frame. No pizza ever or no dressing is crazy.[/quote]

I am European we don't eat like you do.[/quote]

Why do people call themselves European? Why not just say you are Belgian or Swedish or Spanish or Polish? It’s almost like you’re trying “flex” because you think “European” sounds more worldly. [/quote]

No, its because I don't want to be identified as the "Brit" or the "French lady" who may be posting elsewhere on here. It's a privacy issue but yes, as a side note - of course we're more worldly, because its easy to move around in Europe cheaply and quickly. Obviously.[/quote]

I think it’s ends up coming off as close minded and like you are failing to recognize the diversity that is Europe.  Ragusa is Europe.  Lviv is Europe.  Cork is Europe.  People in those cities (much less the small towns) don’t eat like Parisians and most of them aren’t jetting around Europe.  You sound like one of those New Yorkers that thinks everyone lives like they do in Manhattan.  People in the  European towns my grandparents and great-grandparents came from actually probably eat more simple carbs and less fresh veg than I do.  [/quote]

I have actually lived in a lot of different places. Many on your list, above. Should I call myself a New Yorker now?[/quote]
