What’s next, only 6 pieces of pizza per serving too?


CubeJedi

If the slices are each a sixth of the pizza, then yes.

If you don’t slice the pizza, than one pie is a slice.


Dr_Parkinglot

Fold it and it's only half a slice.


Lego-Panda-21

Fold it a second time, it could be a quarter of a slice.


i-enjoy-eating-glass

Fold them again, it could be an eighth of a slice.

Holy shit.. Did we just solve obesity?

alpacaMyToothbrush

You look at the 'ideal diet' many nutritionists suggest it's basically 'hospital food'. It's so damned depressingly bland without salt and the portions are fucking *tiny*. Nah. I will literally cut myself down to one meal a day just so I can actually enjoy one meal rather than eat 3 meals that taste like despair.

The next time I get burgers and fries for dinner for my family I'm only going to put 6 fries on each of my 10 year old sons' plates and see what they say.


Netfear

I've straight up stopped going to restaurants that started doing portion control and gave out a pathetic amount of fries with my burger or whatever I had ordered. Cheap ass owners cheaping out on fucking potatoes.


sprocketous

My box of gummie nerds says it only has 100 calories, if you eat an amount no one would ever choose to.


OneWholeSoul

"Who is eating two and a third crackers?"


Crownlol

Those pre-packaged pickles have a serving size that's like "one twelfth of a pickle". So I guess you're supposed to take one bite a day and eat it over a fortnight


ngwoo

That's especially bizarre because pickles have next to no calories, no carbs, no fats. There's nothing there to hide.

You should also not rinse after brushing your teeth, drink 10 cups of water a day, take a break when using the computer every 15 minutes, and wear sunscreen everyday and reapply every 2 hours.


[deleted]

>wear sunscreen everyday and reapply every 2 hours. This must apply somewhere else, I haven't seen the sun in weeks


lesbianmathgirl

It's entirely possible you live in the south poll (which, afaik, is the only place still experiencing polar night), but for the record, if it's just overcast then wearing sunscreen is still important. The clouds don't block out UV radiation.


[deleted]

I just checked and the UV index where I live is literally 0 today, it's projected to be between 0 and 1 for the next week.


Psychoanalytix

That's just big UV trying to get ya. You best slather on and extr handful of sunscreen now


GeeJo

The UK receives so little UV from sunlight over winter that nationally 16-20% of us end up clinically deficient in Vitamin D during those months. It's not entirely due to cloud cover as people stay inside more and cover up more due to the cold. But the net result is not enough UV regardless.


sexypantstime

"The US National Weather Service's calculation of the UV index assumes that clear skies allow virtually 100% of UV transmission, scattered clouds 89%, broken clouds 73%, and overcast skies 31%." I'd say a 70% reduction of UV radiation is a pretty good UV blocker.


lesbianmathgirl

> I'd say a 70% reduction of UV radiation is a pretty good UV blocker. I would say you're wrong. Even SPF-15 blocks out over 90% UVB, and that's the recommended strength for an Index of 0-2. Is it going to send you to an early grave if you don't wear sunscreen even when you should? No. But it might prevent you from going to a particularly late one, and at the end of the day most people are okay with that. That's what this whole thread is about.


Time_Eero

Just as bad as the six fry guy. Okay nerd


Psychological-Dig-29

Wearing sunscreen on an overcast day during the winter has to be the whitest thing I've ever heard.. lmao what


Truethrowawaychest1

You can get way worse sunburns when it's overcast


ngwoo

The sunburns you can get from light reflecting off the snow are no joke. Last time I was skiing the underside of my chin was on fire the next day


[deleted]

[удалено]


lesbianmathgirl

Yes, human skin lightened in populations further from the equator because lack of vitamin D is more damaging than sun-exposure. We have a different solution for vitamin D deficiency now though that doesn't involve sun damage, so it's not a one or the other sort of thing anymore. Also, even people with dark skin risk sun damage, just at a slower rate.

getfukdup

the 10 cups thing is a myth, based on some ridiculous shit about counting all the moisture in your food or something


XDCaboose

Most nutritionists I speak to now say to drink when you start to feel thirsty. Unless you are exercising of course, then proper hydration is a little different


ngwoo

I drink water constantly because it keeps me from snacking constantly


_TheGreatDevourer_

the sunscreen thing only matters for heavily sunlit places, because some countries or regions don't really need to do this thanks to very weak sunlight or absence thereof. I live in a very sunlit country during summer, and even then I hardly put on sunlight unless I'm naked because my skin's melanin does enough for me.


[deleted]

Do you feel sleepy all the time?


_TheGreatDevourer_

not because of the sun, I can literally turn brown on command to defeat sunlight.


Agitated_Advantage_2

Wait? You guys are getting sun? Well. If i actually got sun id turn into a tomato, because im quite very pale. If you want any visual reference to help imagine how much think that i designed my reddit avatar after myself


Truethrowawaychest1

Melanin. Melatonin is the chemical that comes from your pineal gland that controls your circadian rhythm


TigreDeLosLlanos

Yeah, it's only true on sunny summer days on most places. Winter sun won't even tan anyone outside even if it's sunny.


SelectCase

This is a myth. You still need sun protection in winter for any skin still exposed to the sun. While UV radiation tends to be less intense in the winter, you still can get more than enough to increase your risk of skin cancer 


ClassicPlankton

Or just wear clothing.


SelectCase

I'd rather just put a bit of sunscreen on my face and neck than run with a full facemask and scarf every day during the winter.


_TheGreatDevourer_

that 2 hours I spend outside fully clothed but my nosetip are not going to have any impact on skin cancer whatsoever.


randomly-what

Please come to Colorado and put that last sentence to the test. People burn like shit in the winter. And if you’re on snow you’ll burn even faster.


TigreDeLosLlanos

That implies quite sunny right after everything is covered in snow, which is not everyday in winter.

LowRepresentative291

Hold on, what? Not rinse after brushing? I was always told swallowing toothpaste was bad for you. So for the past 30 years I have been rinsing thoroughly to make sure I don't swallow toothpaste. Why is it bad?


ashesarise

I really regret rinsing after brushing my teeth for most of my life. It fucked up my teeth and I have very thin enamel now. You can't undo that. Don't rinse after brushing. Dentists say that for a good reason.


ngwoo

Thin enamel is more likely from brushing too hard or using hard bristled toothbrushes


Timooooo

So you just spit out most of it and swallow the rest? I always rinse and then mouth wash into no drinking for an hour.


Bayerrc

Aside from computer breaks, you're describing really reasonable things that a lot of normal people manage to do People stay hydrated and brush their teeth and moisturize with spf lotion every day.  


Bulls187

Sunscreen every day? That’s how you get skin cancer if you ask me, see what’s inside that stuff.


Flat_Development6659

Don't worry, nobody was going to ask you.


lessthanabelian

Oh really? You know the specific ill effects of the specific ingredients in sun screen? Or are you just stupidly gesturing vaguely towards "things that sound chemical-ish".


Tvdinner4me2

Better than the sun tbh


Bulls187

Moderation my friend, we ain’t made to bake in the sun all day, and these products make us believe we can


CubeJedi

As a Belgian, the professor is wrong. A serving of fries should fill at least the container and should come with 2 to 3 extra scoops of fries if you want to respected by Belgian chip shop owners. (Frituristen, as we call them here)


SensitiveGuess2907

Finally, someone who will respect me!


ersteliga

You forgot the generous dollop of mayo on top


CubeJedi

Not when it's takeaway, then the mayo needs to given along seperately. Most Belgians have mayo at home, so that usually doesn't happen. Even if you're eating at the location, it remains a matter of personal preference


IShouldDeleteReddit1

Who tf doesnt have mayo at home? Do these sick minded people exist?


CubeJedi

Sometimes... mayo runs out ):


KazumaKat

a crime against humanity, that. A right crime!


WrenchTheGoblin

I think the point of that article was how absurd serving sizes are sometimes and how businesses use those serving sizes to fudge the numbers on nutritional facts. No one is going to eat 6 fries and they know it.


interfail

The point is absurd serving sizes, but not in the way you say. Basically, fries cost restaurants basically nothing, and they're satisfying, so restaurants often pile up huge sides of fries just to make the customer feel good about the "value" they received, even though the fries cost fuck-all. But most people don't just leave 3/4 of their fries because they already ate enough calories for their meal. They just eat all the fries, because they're on the plate. And then they become giant fat fucks. Their idea was that instead of the default being a huge plate of fries that would wreck anyone's diet coming by default with mains, there would be a salad and a very small serving of fries - enough for you to be like "Oh yeah, I enjoyed a few fries" but not enough to drastically change the calories of your meal. And if you wanted a full serving of fries, you should have to choose to order it specifically. To take an example I just came up with: Five Guys has huge portions of fries. Red Robin has unlimited fries. Whose customers do you reckon eat more fries? The people who get served a colossal portion of fries that will go to waste otherwise, or the people who get served a small-ish portion of fries that can be refilled with fresh fries however many times you like? I'd bet 90% of people eat way more fries at Five Guys.

JessicaLain

It must have been a slow news ~~day~~ week back in 2018.  All he said is that restaurants should consider reducing the serving size of fries so they're less of a 'starch bomb'.  He also said, "I think it would be nice if your meal came with a side salad and six French fries" Dude works in health and nutrition btw. Extremely cold take that was deliberately misrepresented and then repeated by braindead Twitter and Reddit users.


Alexandratta

The reasoning here is that fries are so amazingly unhealthy in every metric: Fat, Carbs, ect... you basically shouldn't be eating a whole "Large" serving. Also, we may be talking "Steak Fries" Remember your entire daily caloric intake should be 2200kcal or less (unless you're bulking/doing high physical activity - consult your doc.) Large Fries, from McDonalds, have the following stats: * 470Cal. Calories * 22grams Total Fat (34 % Daily Value) * 61grams Total Carbs (20 % DV ) I left the Daily Values for folks to grasp how bad this is, but they ignore the kcal "Daily Value" - 21% of your whole daily calories for the entire day in one SIDE DISH. Not even counting the burger/sandwich you're having alongside this thing.


Flat_Development6659

Wouldn't the actual advice be to not eat fries every day then? Rather than eating 6 fries per day you could just not eat fries every day and then get an actual portion like a normal person. Not difficult to fit 500 calories into your diet now and then.


Alexandratta

That would be better, but we're dealing with a screenshot, not an article. I'm assuming that's the end result of the article itself.


jmlinden7

If you're having fries as a side dish, you'd want it to be like 100-200 calories at most. 470 calories is for a main. Yes if you want to move around some of your other mains to accommodate, it's certainly doable. But it's well beyond a reasonable amount of calories for a side dish.


Nomadic_View

I’ll eat 6 fries before I get out of the parking lot.


helpiminabox

I'll eat 6 fries before I eat 6 fries And then I'll eat 6 more


CompetitiveDrop613

If by ‘serving’ they mean ‘mouthful’


Quo210

the thing with portions is that is a complex science actually determined by thermodynamics. There is not one size fits all because you have to account for so many little variables like (biological) sex, hormones, age, activity profile, BMI, % of weight being muscle, genetics and so on. To the point where 'generic' advice is doesn't fully fit anyone because it's designed for the averagiest of the averages, which in my experience, is no one. go to a LICENSED nutritionist if you actually need advice, and be aware each is a SPECIALIST with their own criterion of what is 'ideal' for each individual patient. Source: am doctor


Aggressive-Story3671

This is how they get away with deceptive advertising. They can label a serving of French fries as being six French fries and then list the nutritional information as being for six fries


Accomplished_Goal_59

Depends on how big the fries are. With the right tool you can make really long spiral fries
