Is this too much food?

I guess it depends on the person...You mean like 10 oz in one sitting? Personally I think that's too much (I know it would be too much for me.) I'd eat about 4-5 oz of scallops and maybe half a cup to a cup of veggies and call it a meal.

However, if you're going to eat less later to make up for said big meal, then it's not so bad I guess.

If you're full it's too much. Eat til your satsified, not until you're in agony lol

10oz of whatever my protein is, in one sitting, seems like a lot to ME... but really its all about total calories consumed so, if you enjoy eating that quantity at once, and it fits into your goals, then go for it.

Those scallops were only about 250 calories (unless you fried them or prepared them with butter). Boiled vegetables probably aren't many calories either. Personally, that doesn't sound like very much food at all to me!

Dinner for me is usually 700-1000 calories. I'd just be getting started with the scallops and vegetables!

Also... 50kg - about 110 pounds - seems very slight for someone who is 5'6". I'm pretty sure you'd be clinically underweight at 50kg.

50kg and 5'6" is clinically underweight and only calculates to a BMI of less than 18... (17.8) Unless you're kate moss i suggest you focus on being healthy... and stay away from more extreme measures.

lol
and now everyone posted the same thing about her weight.

Don't worry about whether I am under or over weight, the question is only whether that portion is too big for that weight

Fine then. To answer your question: nothing is too big a portion at your weight/considering your goals.

Being a few lbs underweight according to the BMI scale is not a big deal. IDK why everyone freaks out over this.

If you feel sick you have probably eaten too much, that clearly would look like a big portion on a plate so why did you eat it? (I am thinking about how big a 10oz steak is!)
If you did not want anyone to comment on your size why did you post your stats? your username is kind of a giveaway anyway!

If you think you have problem with dieting or eating disorder get some help, if you don't why would you even think it was an issue or feel the need to hide it from your family?

Also sausages are not as bad as you think, 260cals for 2 sausages so a good meal with veg or jacket potato and salad, don't get too caught up in what is thought of as 'fatty'.

10 oz is a larger portion size of scallops than you'd find in most restaurants.

The rest of the information is disturbing. Hiding a diet while underweight is bad news.

Thank you!
Consider this: Olympic athlete in boxing and me, both women, both 18, same height. Should we weigh the same?
Or this: my mum and me are the same height. She has had 2 children and is 56. Should we weigh the same?

No, an Olympic athlete would probably weigh more because they have more muscle. They would also EAT more. A lot more. They may or may not fit into the BMI chart because of their muscle, but they are in peak physical condition, so they don't need to worry about fitting into a chart. That's about 1% of the world's population. If you were an elite Olympic athlete, you wouldn't wonder if 10 oz of scallops was too much. That might be your appetizer.

Your mother is 56. She may or may not weigh more than you. Her age gives her license to a few more pounds which tends to happen with life. That's why there is a range of weight (118 to 148 for your height) that is considered healthy for most average people.

We're simply saying that you're already at the very lowest end of what is considered healthy for your height. To give advice to someone who is at the lowest end of the weight scale on losing MORE weight would be irresponsible. If you don't like how you look, hit the gym for muscle definition!

I routiely eat 10oz of protein alongside a veg and maybe rice too for dinner. Whatever works for your calorie count.

You don't need to be on this forum. It is for people who are serious about their weight issues!!

Yesterday I believe you asked about calories in vomit and stated that you had thrown up on purpose, then you want to know if you should eat strawberries after a swim in case you don't lose weight and now you want to know if your scallop portion is too big and it's clear, if you are telling the truth about your stats, that you don't need to lose weight anyway!

I don't know if you have an eating disorder, in which case go get help, or are just very immature, but either way this is not the right place for you!

Yes, that's right, those are the things I've asked, well done for memory.
I asked because that's what I wanted to know. Yes I had too much scallops but decided not to throw them up today and I usually have fruit after swimming so I asked if I should or shouldn't.

You need a doctor, not a forum.
