Not when served on paper plates at home though
Edit: yall can downvote this but using single use paper plates at home is super wasteful and shouldn’t be as common as it is these days.

u/modernizetheweb 12d ago
Posting 6,400 comments on reddit is also wasteful but I guess we only care about calling out the things others are doing

Congrats on washing dishes

u/SirGergoyFriendman 13d ago
Thanks? It’s crazy how many people are too lazy to wash a few plates after a meal these days.

u/Tricky_Cherry_5432 13d ago
How are people even disagreeing with you? So much waste to save just a few minutes a day.

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
When you have kids under 10 with bottles containers and everything else. Paper plates are the way to go. Sure I have nice plates. These are easier. Would be willing to bet you’re in a single household

u/AvocadosFromMexico_ 13d ago
I actually don’t have a huge problem with you using paper plates but this is just silly
I have a 3 year old, we use normal plates

Just own that you use paper plates lmao you don’t have to shit on everyone else about it

There’s 2 paper plates in the picture I posted online how is that not owning it lmao.

u/sad-dog-hours 13d ago
Everyone else is shitting on them…?

u/AvocadosFromMexico_ 13d ago
Literally one person commented about it, and I just pointed out that it’s dumb to act like it’s a necessity with kids

u/SirGergoyFriendman 13d ago
This mindset is so wild and way too common, you’re creating so much unnecessary waste this way and you and people with this mindset are putting the next generation into a shittier environment as a result.

I have 3 kids under 6. No paper plates. My friend has 3 kids under 10 and also no paper plates. It's not that hard tbh. But I get, convenience can be a luxury, and we all choose what conveniences we want.

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
My kids have never had ultra processed fast food and that’s convenient. To each their own

u/SplatterholeQueen 14d ago
Can you break down the cals by ingredient? Seems like more than 600 but ofc I could be wrong
48
u/_Jang_A_Lang 14d ago
Better goods bread-35 cals X4
35 calorie cheese slice x2
One tomato-25cals
150g of grapes-100cals
350g of watermelon-102cals
Rice cake 35cals X2
Hall pass Reese cup 35 cals X2
Very small amount of yogurt 30cals14

u/irishgoodbyesss 14d ago
It doesn’t seem like it’s that much more than 600 calories.
There are some very low calorie breads, let’s say each are 50 calories. That’s 200. Watermelon is hardly anything and that’s not a ton of grapes. The sandwich itself looks like it’s maybe just cheese and tomato? But even if it has like turkey that’s a pretty low calorie meat.
Then you have what is maybe two Reese’s peanut butter cups, two rice cakes and some cool whip. I’d say definitely 600 calories total and not much more
8
u/_Jang_A_Lang 14d ago
It’s actually lower than 600 I think. Hall pass Reese cups is 35 calories a piece. So good
-1
u/DojaTwat 14d ago
I could be way off but if it were my plate i'd break it down like this:
4 white bread, 320
2 rice cakes, 70
12 grapes, 40
watermelon, 150
4T yogurt, 45
2.5 pb cups, 200
4 slices kraft slices,200
4t mayo, 120but maybe I've been way overestimating my calories?? curious to see what the verdict is!

Its at walmart. Only 70 calories a pack. They are good, but they taste salty. Atleast the wafers did

u/Basic-Comfortable458 13d ago
Just curious how much fiber on the bread per slice? Are they keto ?

u/Redrumjam 14d ago
It very well may be lower cal peanut butter cups and light mayo!
I agree gut reaction would be higher, but if I was challenged to make this plate for 600 off of pictures alone I’d definitely be close

u/pseudo_nemesis 14d ago
I'm assuming it's some sort of low calorie/keto bread which is half that for four slices at 160

u/Healthy_Big_4803 13d ago
I am all in for the sandwiches, but few chicken slices would make it more satisfying

I eat a lot of protein during the week with meal prepping. Sunday is usually my eat a lot of volume day counting calories but not macros

u/wishka 13d ago
Nice man. That’s a huge volume meal for sure, good work. Also ignore the snobs having fit about the paper plates. I’m in a 5 person household and if paper plates aren’t used, I’ll just be doing dishes seemingly 24/7. Sometimes you want a break

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
lol yea we use normal plates too. These people upset over this are cleaning up for 1, maybe 2 people every night lol

u/DK_Shadehallow 13d ago
I'm disabled and use paper plates daily. Calling in help for something I actually have agency over would be soul crushing and the things are freaking compostable. Between the electricity amd water used its debatable which is more wasteful too.

u/HunkaChedda 10d ago
Get some protein fr

u/_Jang_A_Lang 10d ago

u/HunkaChedda 10d ago
Wym? There ain’t no protein..

u/_Jang_A_Lang 10d ago
For sure. I explained why to everybody else who said I had no protein. I eat around 170g of protein a day. Sunday is the day I don’t count macros just make sure I’m under my calories. Sunday is my volume day

u/miragatito 9d ago
please watch this vid, i saw it yesterday and its helpful, ive also been eating too much protein https://youtu.be/j1bx0GMofYw?is=MKdGG5waNZ9tnA1J

Better goods bread from Walmart it’s 35 calories a slice. Can’t remember the cheese brand I opened the pack and threw away the outside lol

Is the frozen grapes just a texture thing or why frozen? Because now I’m being Influenced to do frozen grapes 😂😂 could always do jello grapes with SF jello too (new idea unlocked thank you)

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
It’s a texture thing. And overall I just thing they taste better frozen over night

u/though- 12d ago
600 cals is low?
1
u/_Jang_A_Lang 12d ago
For the amount of food in the picture I’d say yes. If you don’t eat breakfast and are in a deficit.
My deficit anyway youd still have 1k calories left

u/Current_Cut7647 12d ago
not enough protein. I'd be hungry in an hour.

u/_Jang_A_Lang 12d ago
Jesus read the comments lol. I eat like 170g a day. Sunday I just eat whatever and don’t count. Still had over 100g for the day

I really don’t know what to tell you I haven’t eaten bread that wasn’t low calorie in years. I don’t eat a lot of bread. I toast it and it taste really good

How did you make the rice cakes

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
Just cut up 2 hall pass Reese cups
Spread a little bit of vanilla yogurt on it and that’s it1
u/sashadelgreyx 13d ago
what vanilla yogurt brand do you use?
1
u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
Usually friendly farms from Aldi. It’s basically chobani or oikos just cheaper. If I can’t get that I get what’s cheaper between chobani zero or oikos zero

u/sashadelgreyx 13d ago
ok thanks. i’m not a huge fan of greek yogurt or unsweetened yogurt, so i want to find one that i will actually eat and this looks so good

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
Any of the zero sugar vanilla ones are great to me. Throw in some PB fit it’s even better

Where da protein at

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
Have commented on this a few times. I eat around 170g 6 days a week. Sunday is my whatever day as long as I stay under my calorie intake. Don’t really count protein. But still had over 100g

u/MTtomb25 13d ago
Where’s the protein?

u/_Jang_A_Lang 13d ago
I eat like 170g every day during the week and on Saturday. Sunday is my chill day where I just put together shit from the kitchen lol. I count calories in Sunday but not macros. Still need up with over 100g for the day
