And being US-centric means a lot of the choices a quite gross and really unappealing for people in other countries. Buttered toast? Peanut butter and honey? Yuck, I'd rather not eat at all.
- mywacaday 7y agoI selected keto and it suggested an arugula salad for lunch that had 61 calories, no thanks!
- dmje 7y agoYou don't like buttered toast?
- esotericn 7y agoI love buttered toast, in the same way that I love candy floss. It's not exactly a 'meal'.
- coldtea 7y agoIt's a good meal if one is still in middle school... For most countries it's something you snack with a coffee or tea, not a meal.
- jakemal 7y agoI've never heard of that being considered an entire meal America either.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoI was going to say this. Wow people believe we think buttered toast is a meal. Isnt the goal to eat less with this site? I would say buttered toast pushed some hunger buttons.
- russh 7y agoIt depends on the proximity of large unplanned cash outlays to payday.
- EpicEng 7y agoIt's not a meal anywhere, not sure where you got that idea.
- rriepe 7y agoI had the same reaction reading this post.
- astura 7y agoI've never heard of peanut butter and honey, must be a regional thing.
- mumblemumble 7y agoI'm pretty sure it's a Great Plains thing. I grew up on it, but most everyone I know has never heard of it. I will say that it's only delicious if you use typical American heavily salted peanut butter. Canadians should not try this with anything but Kraft unless they are feeling dangerously happy and are in need of a quick day-ruiner.
- pacerwpg 7y agoIt's perfectly fine with natural peanut butter too - you can always add salt onto the peanut butter.
- bovermyer 7y agoYou're missing out. Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are amazing. For context, I grew up in a wide mix of central and eastern USA.
- astura 7y agoNo thanks, I very much don't like peanut butter on sandwiches/bread/toast. The thought of peanut butter on bread makes me wanna gag, it doesn't taste good and the texture is unbearable.
- knicholes 7y agoHow else would you use peanut butter? Cookies? Chocolates?
- mumblemumble 7y agoEveryone knows it's best eaten with a spoon.
- throwaway_tech 7y ago>Yuck, I'd rather not eat at all. Wow...that reads like the stereotypical Western child when asked to eat healthy food. However, I don't think I have ever heard even a child say yuck to buttered toast or a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Once upon a time I might eat either of those things before running half or full marathons...no longer as I avoid bread/carbs/sugar and prefer running in ketosis. I'll say this though, if your fueled by glucose those are both very light meals that will give you great amounts of energy without major insulin spikes (not much in the way of micro nutrients though).
- silexia 7y agoI was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the hip at the age of 35. This finally shocked me into action. For a long time, I have been very active playing sports everyday and exercising but always had a little extra fat on me and was a little slower than I could be. I never had the motivation to change my diet until now. I went out and read everything I could on osteoarthritis and as it's a degenerative disease you're only hope is to make it last longer at this point and maybe a cure will come. The proven ways to make it last longer are to lose weight and to do exercise. I spent about 160 hours researching what to do and discover the diet inflammatory index (DII). This is based on every dietary study related to inflammation since 1950 till 2017. I designed a diet specifically around that. I am combining it with intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting that I found through my research is also very powerful in causing autophagy which can help with diseases like osteoarthritis. I actually have found that since starting this diet my focus and brain power have gone through the roof. I have tons more energy in my hip feels a hundred times better. I am excited to continue this journey. I'd highly recommend anyone interested to look at this as well. I'm not one of those people that sells any crap related to this, this is just the research I have done into scientific studies around nutrition and its impact on disease.
- jriot 7y agoAre you a commie, not liking buttered toast, what world am I living in here?
- EpicEng 7y agoYou have that much disdain for... butter on toast? Where are you from exactly? Mars?
- tarsinge 7y agoIn France the « Jambon beurre » sandwich is (was?) one of the most eated meal and is baguette + butter + ham. Also personally I’m fit and I eat a lot of buttered bread with added cheese everyday. I have the chance to have artisan bread and raw milk cheese available everywhere though. Honey everyday too (in tea and in yogurts).
