How much food is too much

[Drownedwithhim]

[Randomized Shame]

Are you asking how many calories is a lot for a single meal?

 

[Randomized Shame]

Or are you asking about the weight of food, like grams?

Depends on how much calories you need daily, if it's 1600 and you eat 800 in one meal you can just eat ~2x without snacks etc

Just Google calorie calculator, it's not the same for everyone

But like I mean a single meal not throughout the entire day

It depends on your BMR + lifestyle + activity levels. 1,600 calories within a 18 hour window is probably recommended for a mild calorie deficient based off of your weight and height. 1,400 if you're wanting a more dramatic weight loss. Nothing intentionally under 1,300 ideally.

It's not a big deal about per meal as much as it is per hour window. It's normally 18 hours.

Then it doesn't really matter on how much you eat in one meal, just try to manage it so that you are not hungry through the day, you can eat 1000 at once too

If you're only eating one meal a day and its 800 calories thats not a lot at all, I'm losing weight on 2300 a day.

depends on the nutritional value it's giving u. if it's 800 of empty calories it's a lot & it's not worth eating (i.e. if i eat two chocolate cookies that are 800, it's bad) if it's like a salad with protein and blablabla, it's good that it's 800.

I'm actually morbidly obese... not just obese, which is why the transformation will be all the more impresive when I get to like 165 lbs.

I've been eating one meal evey so often like I had half a hamburger on mothersday pizza the day before yesterday and Salisbury steak before that and that's all I had in a 2 week times pan and one was forced

Sometimes i eat a few hundred cals every few hrs (grazing) sometimes i eat one decent meal and then snacks after and when i was super busy i ate a huge meal every 48 hrs

hmmm id say for breakfast + lunch it should be around 1000, and then for the rest of the day you should be able to eat comfortably without even restricting. works for me to stay under 1700 cals

mind you this is in addition to working out
