People on the internet do get upset when they feel
someone is 'doing it wrong' and there have been complaints
that someone trying to loose weight eating such a meal
is off the rails. Let's look at this.

From the point of view of calories, the estimates I have seen
seem too high. A baked potato from the oven without any additions
might be 150 calories; the sausages, whatever it says on the
packet. If one has fried anything, one tablespoon of oil is 120 calories,
so if half is left in the pan, one adds 60 to the meal. Food doesn't just get
horrendous expensive if it looks appetizing, like blondes at the
Discothech. It's math.

My own reaction to this meal is that it lacks the little touches that make
it sustainable. Add shredded lettuce and lemon juice all over that; have
a nice orange for dessert, and a small glass of 2% milk.

The manner in which I might change this is with the food combinations
involved. It is both high protein and high carb at the same time. The problem
with that is that it will be long and difficult to digest, and will lead to bloating;
thus not very rewarding on the scales. So it is wiser to have a keto-leaning meal,
some time interval, and a vegan-inspired one later. Not looking for dramatic life
changes, just finding balance. One can soft-land to better habits in this manner!
