Seriously, how is anyone dumb enough to be fat?

Very nice dear and how many of these 600 calorie / kilojoule meals do you have a day?

My point is that you seem to eat way more than Zen and I do. Zen is in a very physical job, me? I'm what you might consider sedentary. We don't eat much between us but we eat quality.

You are saying that the above is your typical breakfast? My uncle used to eat like that (he was a Plumber) ...died @ 45 from pancreatic cancer...healthy and fit otherwise. Go figure. No excessive sugar intake or 'visceral fat' on him. The other uncle has had lung and throat cancer, diabetes, stroke, heart surgery, and Liver cancer.... Ate well (like you) was a fit Life Saver and Master Carpenter, never smoked nor drank alcohol... he is still alive (if you can call it that)

Define "like that"? The portion size of meat in my breakfast meal is correct, the large amount of mushrooms and the tomato add very few calories between them (as I said 43 calories), and none of it is cooked in oil.

FYI I've changed my scrambled egg recipe and now only use 1tbs oil which is 40 calories.

If you cook yourself a fried breakfast you can easily go to 1200 calories or more, it's not the type of meal that it is that makes it healthy or unhealthy, it's what it is precisely in it that determines that!

At the moment breakfast is my largest meal in calories and certainly in volume.
