e : this 'ad-hom' thing you keep trotting out is getting very tired.
Just because someone could eat a bucket to themself without struggling, it doesn't mean they would do it every day.
No it's not actually. There's quite a large difference between people. A person who is 8 stone will eat a lot less than a person who 12 stone, and the same goes for a person who is 16 stone.
So no they are not fairly accurate at all.
There's no such thing as "the normal amount". Any dietician who knows what they're talking about can easily acknowledge that people of different weights will eat largely proportionally different amounts.
Your KFC meal would barely fill half a 10" plate...
Hell yeah lets go full retard and turn this into a nutrition sports science thread, its been a few days..!!! yeeehaw!

You are confusing recommended daily amounts of various foodstuffs with the sheer volume of what certain people can eat.
Outside body builders or people with growth hormone issues, no one should be 16 stone anyway.
Again your weight isn't the issue but your body type. There is a difference in what certain people can eat healthily but it isn't as vast as going from what KFC consider a 'meal' for one and what they consider a meal for one and half families.
Well it would unless you have absolutely no sense of volume, or if you consider anything less that 6 inches of height 'not covering' the plate.
But back to your main point, if recommended amounts are so vague why do KFC market their buckets as 'family' meals? Why do Domino's suggest their large pizza is for 2-4 people? Clearly it's not as random as you seem so desperate to imply.
Quite but there is a large gap between claiming you 'could' eat £20 worth of KFC to yourself as a challenge and saying 'its pretty easy to spend £20 for one person' as spoffle did. The latter implies you can accidentally or tempt yourself into eating £20's worth of food without batting an eyelid.
It's not really a challenge though, as the volume of food isn't particularly high.

LMAO, and you accused me of not knowing what I'm talking about.
You are essentially saying that eating a ball of butter the size of a tennis ball would be the same as eating the same sized ball of marshmallow.![]()
I know the difference between it, you don't as you were the one going on about volume. You started talking about plate sizes, ergo, you don't understand the difference between volume and mass.I think you need to learn the difference between volume (i.e size) with weight/density.
Do any of you even lift?
God i love it when it is remotely plausible to post this question!
Also, I never claimed to be a body builder, which proves your ignorance. Not everyone who lifts weights are body builders.
No I'm not, I said nothing of the sort. Stop making stuff up.

I was pointing out that such a meal wouldn't be a "challenge" because it's not that much in terms of mass that it would be too much.
What does it matter the reasons why? Some people enjoy lifting weights and doing it for strength.Isn't lifting weights rather pointless unless your main goal is to build your body in some way? This is 2013, we have machines to lift heavy things nowadays so there's no real practical reasons to be strong is there?
You said eating £20's worth of KFC wouldn't be a problem, equating its ease to volume. It's all in print above....
Are you stupid or just trying to wind me up. The area covered by food on a plate IS volume.
So you are claiming, on record, that eating £20 worth of KFC (which includes their largest bucket and another meal on top) wouldn't be a challenge for the vast majority of people?
If you're on a wind up then well done you got me but if not then put the doobie and the beer down and go to bed.
You'll find that it's area. Plates are 2 dimensional.
