This is gourmet hospital food π
Eat the cheese stick and the pickle, trade the rest for real food.
How much lead is in there?
Vegetarian so yese
No. This is a large unhealthy snack.
Depends on your standards. Looks disgusting to me.
Health-wise, you have a cup of sugar, a pouch of probably sugar, a PB and sugar on starch slab next to a pile of salty starch and a stick of salt water, with a cheese stick on the side. With not much protein or fibre that's a lot of food to leave you hungry soon after, and not a lot of nutritional value.
Taste-wise, eeugh, but that's just personal preference.
Not much protein? Excuse me what? There's literally peanut butter and cheese. What in the world are you talking about?
By proportion. It's mostly carbs.
Sure but still a decent amount of protein. Peanut butter is dense as fuck.
the only think unhealthy here is the cheesestick, your fascination with protein is interesting, can you elaborate? The majority of Americans get more than triple the recommended protein.
As a professional chef, I would rate this lunch better than what most people eat.
Not shitty food porn
It's wild. Idk how that person can look at Peanut Butter and cheese and then claim it lacks substantial protein. Rofl
No veg, little fiber, high in refined carbs. Kinda shit, imo. Goddamn, eat a piece of whole fruit instead of processed shit thatβs basically just sugar.
It got cheese stick.
No veg
I see a pickle
Cucumberβs a fruit lol
Vegatable is a culinary term, not a scientific term. All vegetables that we human eat that are not leafy greens or tubers are in fact fruits, scientifically speaking. Cucumbers are a fruit, until you bring them into the kitchen, at which point the vegatable-fruit superposition collapses and it becomes a vegatable, full stop.
The Tantrum Clause remains undefeated π
(If it's not made through sexual reproduction it's not fruit)

This is a pretty average lunch if ever I saw one.
As someone who works for a living, I must agree.
Honestly, if I opened my lunchbox to this, I would be pretty happy. Though, I'd wonder where the rest of the PBJ went?
Whatever, food!

After a quick and dirty look at nutrional fact lables: That's almost half the daily recommended sodium, over a third the fat, and three tablespoons of sugar. Depending on the PB and J brands and types, it could be more fat, sodium and sugar.
Perfectly fine, it's food. Food is always an acceptable form of lunch.
Username checks out
How?
Your indirect implication, that this "always" acceptable for lunch.
This is something you give a diabetic who's low on sugar.
Not something you'd eat for sustenance, especially in long term. It might technically be food, but I wouldn't call it a meal.
Ahhh each to their own.
Your friend probably has autism; the thing in common all of these have is they're singular textures:
E.g: Pear juice and apple sauce are mushy and fruity, the chips and pickle are crunchy, and the PB&J and stick are soft.
Don't bully people with autism, let them eat their chicken tendies (or a PB&J with pickle) for 349 straight days in a row in peace.
Autistic people need to not eat trash diets, too. It isn't bullying to tell someone that their eating habits will lead them to poor health
My only suggestion to them is to bump up their protein intake and cut back a bit on the carbs. =D
Not carbs, but sugar
I mean we've got the sandwich, the juice and the apple sauce (and I don't actually want to know how much sugar was added to the chips and pickle).
There's like no fibre or complex carbohydrate in that meal whatsoever π₯²

I guess, if you like it. Plastic wrapped cheese and plastic wrapped applesauce are a little crazy and it's got a lot of refined sugar. If I were "fixing" this,
Apple not applesauce
Cheese sandwich not shrink wrapped cheese. With some lettuce, tomato, onion. Vegetables. On the side of you don't like them in the sandwich.
Water not pear juice.
Those chips are (as my kids would say) fire. So good. I would not take them away even though they have not nutrition.
What I usually have for lunch is leftovers of whatever I made for supper the night before (if it's leftover-able)
Also, I'd say it depends on if this is all you eat. If it's an indulgent quick lunch in the context of an overall good diet, then heck yes, acceptable. If this is the healthiest meal of your day, then no.

Id recommend 0.666666667 PBJ
I mean, its food, I'd eat it.
Depending on the source the JalapeΓ±o chips could be not so great. Often they are produced with seed oils which are super high in Omega 6, but without a balanced diet to counteract that with the other omegas this could lead to internal inflammation over time. This is (as far as I'm aware) why eating processed foods makes you feel terrible.
The white American bread is basically pure sugar, with very little gluten, so that's not great.
Peanut butter is not very high in protein, and most American sources are super high in sugar. It does contain lots of fat though, hopefully peanut oil but probably sunflower seed oil, see above for why that's not great.
Cucumber Pickles are nearly devoid of nutrition, but if they're live fermented and not brined they're good for digestion, paired with this much sugar though expect some major gas and probably a trip to the bathroom within half an hour.
The mozz stick is a good source of protein.
All in all, 3/10. Poorly balanced but delicious and loaded with carbs for energy. Will feel bloated afterwards.
Acceptable? I mean, if it's what you've got it's what you eat. But if you're an adult who cares about their health and this is what you're eating every day... it looks both sad and unhealthy. It isn't what I would accept for myself if I were able to choose what I was eating.
The annoying thing is that people seem to think they need to have so many things to make a meal. You have pear juice and apple sauce and a sandwich and a pickle... you can just make and eat a sandwich and it would be tastier and more nutritionally complete, assuming it is a large sandwich with lots of protein and veggies. Or just pack yourself a bowl of soup (again, with lots of protein and veggies) that you meal prepped earlier and pop it in the microwave. Then drink water.
The only protein source here is the cheese stick and the rest is all just carbs on carbs with a little smattering of fat. Basically no fiber besodes the pickle and the apple sauce pouch which barely counts.
This is fine every now and again, but yeesh.
The pb and j has more protein than the cheese stick without the cholesterol and excess fat, it also has fiber.
Not enough protein and not that much fat
https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrition-comparison/1301134-784435/wt1-wt1/1-1/1
You could have 2 cheese sticks and have the same protein and less than half the calories and still less fat.
There's some fiber, but the PBJ is mostly just carb and fat.
If you're a student and/or poor, yes. Otherwise, this is fine, but you can do better.
If you are poor, you should definitely not be buying individual servings of applesauce (or most things). Of course, this is also true if you are not poor.

It's better than my lunch today
Ehh. Not a huge fan of both applesauce AND pear juice. Lots of added sugar. At a minimum, I would replace the applesauce with apple slices or the pear juice with water.
If it's in the budget, some carrots would make this better. They're fairly inexpensive if you get whole carrots and process them how you'd like. I like to buy a lot of them, cut them as part of meal prep, and eat/use them over the week.
The sandwich is fine, especially if this person doesn't typically eat a large lunch. I wouldn't have thought it was out of place if that was a whole sandwich, though.
