Yes. It was actually even worse than that on most days. The portions were bigger and I didn't include snacks and desserts. My whole family was overweight and most of us were obese (myself included). This is the majority of Americans. I'm sure that this style of eating is extremely common.

- silicon2401 6y agoSorry to hear. Sadly, like a typical American I also had my days of weight gain, junk food, mcdonald's, etc in my childhood, but I also grew up having mostly home-cooked food, so that's where my curiosity comes from.
- hnick 6y agoWhile that food doesn't look healthy I don't think it would be enough to become obese alone from a calorie perspective, unless portion sizes are massive (you said one sandwich but maybe it was multiple?). Especially with a teenage metabolism. Snacks, desserts, and sugar drinks in between meals are a huge contributor for a lot of people.
