I would assume OP means "tea" in the regional British and Irish sense of "evening meal", not just a particularly lardy cuppa.
OP, the thing about eating tea, even if it puts you over your goal, is this: the mistake is already made. Skipping tea will not undo the mistake, it will just make another mistake of disrupting your normal eating schedule and making yourself sad and hungry and, deep down, resentful. You have to accept the mistake and move on.
A takeaway is fine, just do some research in advance, choose something not too calorific, don't eat the whole portion (put half on a plate and half in the fridge for tomorrow) and don't go mad on the side dishes. There's a world of difference between a half portion of chicken cashew nut with a half portion of fried rice and 5 prawn crackers, versus the Hungry Dragon Lard-Bottom Sharing Banquet for 5.
We all have days where the wheels come off, you just need to not lose your head and keep trying. You'll get there in the end.
Lmao. You are right. I had to look it up. Having been to England numerous times, and having enjoyed high tea in England, Hong Kong, and here locally, I’ve never heard of it referred to as dinner. But apparently along the working class in certain areas, that’s the slang. Probably not useful on this mostly US board, but whatever.
I did start craving tea though. Op, thanks. I enjoyed my darjeeling tea with cream this afternoon thanks to you.7 -
I just ate pork, chicken, rice, macaroni, potatoes, cake, chex mix, chocolate, halo top, and beer.
You're okay.
I'm not. lol.10 -

Quite an assumption. You'd probably be shocked at the number of MFP users who aren't in the US.16 -

I’d like to have been over at either of your houses. Minus the beer. I prefer wine. But the rest I’m all over.

Cream in your tea? Oh no. No no no no no. No. An entire nation gasps with horror.
And yes, many many of us are from all over the place but most in the US just automatically assume everyone is also from the US. I spend a lot of time pointing this out in threads where advice may be location specific and the OP is clearly not in the location assumed.14 -
@Mslmesq It seems rather parochial to expect the entire Web to speak English according to your local usage, and actually criticise them for not changing their way of speaking to suit you. It's a big world out here.11

So if you're English and say 'tea' to refer to a meal time you're working class...

I guess technically it is true but it's actually more about being regional. Some would call it supper in some areas. Dinner could refer to lunch in others. Britain has a very diverse range of local dialects. I grew up in a working class Scottish/English hybrid home in Scotland and then later went to a very fancy school. I now live in London. I have friends spread all over the world and of course use international forums like this so transfer between colloquialisms and quirks all the time. I'm all kinds of linguistically confused. But it also makes me a pretty good person I think to adjust to my audience instead of expecting them to adjust to me.10 -

Wasn’t my words. If you have a problem with it, take it up with Wikipedia.
And for everyone getting their panties in a bunch... I know everyone here is not from the US. But the majority are. And I’ve never heard of tea used to denote supper. So geez, excuse me. I thought she was either referring to high tea or simply regular tea. Or even sweet tea. I didn’t know.
Oh, and yes I like milk in my darjeeling tea. Always have and always will. Too kitten bad!!!!

Yea, I disagree. If you are asking for advice and you want people to understand you. And you are using a colloquialism that the majority of people will not know, probably useful to not use it. Or use it, but don’t be surprised when some people are confused and ask for clarification. Or bite their head off for doing so.

Well I guess it was a slip of the tongue cause I also started craving Devonshire cream from this stupid post. But I couldn't get my hands on that as easily. I actually started looking up local places to have high tea cause I really want some.2 -
Nobody is upset about asking for clarification. People are upset because you actually *told someone off* for expressing themselves in a different way from what you are used to.
This is an international open forum. We all have to ask for clarification sometimes. What we don't do is lecture people for not using American vernacular. Your colloquialisms are not better than anybody else's.16 -

Lmao. You want to quote me on where I told someone off? Like at all? I actually thought it was interesting to learn something I didn't know. I do wish the op had at least put in parentheses what it meant to begin with, but I absolutely did not tell anyone off. And if people took it that way, they were reading into it cause it's not what I wrote!
Eta: And also I never suggested that American vernacular or my local colloquialisms are better than others and acceptable! Specifically what I was trying to say was unless you are using something widely understood (meaning not a vernacular or colloquialism of anywhere), and if you want to be widely understood by others, you may want to either refrain from using any vernacular or colloquialism, or spend an extra few seconds defining it. And, to make it abundantly clear, I’m offering that as a suggestion, NOT a criticism as one can do what they want. It’s just so a wider variety of others will understand.
And the only one being told off in this post was you telling me off withyour assumptions that I think my word usage is better than others.11 -
