[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still stuck on a breakfast sandwich being some kind of unholy calorie bomb that requires repentance or punitive action.

I make one for lunch every day using a whole wheat English muffin (120 calories, 4 gm fiber, 7 grams protein, 20 net carbs), a turkey sausage patty with 60 calories, an egg + egg white, a quick spray of olive oil and hot sauce.  This is one component of my lunch and this is after I had breakfast (not just coffee) a few hours earlier.  (I usually have fruit, veggies, and nuts in the afternoon and exercise right after work).  I also eat a normal dinner every day.  I am not remotely overweight.

I don’t think anyone reasonable believes that your breakfast sandwich is terrible. I love a good breakfast sandwich. However, I’m sure you can appreciate the difference between that and some oversized triple bacon, sausage, ham, egg and cheese  croissanwich from Burger King. I personally find that type of breakfast sandwich to be too heavy, but were I to indulge, is it really surprising that I wouldn’t be hungry for awhile afterwards? I might even choose to eat a lighter lunch or nothing at all, depending on how I feel. Some people in this thread insist that one should be tucking into a full meal several hours after the monster breakfast sandwich, in order to prove one is not “disordered.”[/quote]

Do you really think someone who is eating the sandwich you describe is worried about their daily calories in any way shape or form? I’m willing to bet OP would never in a million years eat a 1,000 calorie breakfast sandwich.

Sure. Or maybe she decided to indulge and enjoy it. I’ve been known to indulge in a plate of biscuits and sausage gravy at a local place that does them well. I will then go easy on lunch, and probably just eat a normal dinner.

Look, I’m team breakfast sandwich. I think it’s one of the best things someone can eat in the morning. However, I was accused of disordered eating upthread when I mentioned taking it easy after a chick fil a chicken biscuit. I genuinely don’t understand someone believing it’s disordered to listen to your body and not eat if you aren’t hungry. [/quote]

This right here. When I get a Chick-fil-A breakfast sandwich (I’d say maybe 4-5 times a year) I pretty much know I’m going to eat a yogurt for lunch, because I won’t be hungry. If I’m hungry for more at lunch, I would eat more at lunch, and a normal dinner or whatever. Some of us really, actually do know how to listen to our bodies. [/quote]
