Why do Japanese restaurant meals have so few calories? Even a full dinner like pic related only has 638 calories. That's simply not sufficient to make any sort of gains on a powerlifting regimen.

Japanese people are low test soyboy manlets. What else do you expect?

>That's simply not sufficient to make any sort of gains on a powerlifting regimen.

No shit look at the japanese men they all have the same frame as their women

A) Most meals should be around 600-800 calories
B) Look at the portion sizes and lack of carbs

1500 calorie meals sup

restaurants expect you to eat more than one meal a day. also they rightfully consider machismo and powerlifting obsession to be gay, juvenile and a farce

i only go to sushi and grill restaurants that have an all you can eat policy with a maximum of 5 dishes ordered every time you order per person.

shits great

We talk as if it's a problem.

>fermented beans
>rice
>shitplant
>grilled fish
>bean sprouts
>broth

Well considering the dish is 95% water I'm not too shocked.

Japanese cope this hard?

why is sumo so looked upon then

Because since Japan takes working ethic so fucking seriously it leads to suicide, the concept of being a fat fuck from being lazy is alien. They see sumo as people who have committed tremendous effort to engorging themselves while still maintaining muscle, balance, flexibility, etc. Sumo is actually hard; if you put a real sumo wrestler up against a stereotypical fat chinese guy or american they will destroy them easily.

I'm probably wrong, but Japanese food never seems to fatty apart from the meat. Fat is the most calorie dense macro nutrient

>lack of carbs
What? They are eating carbs on carbs.

>muh calories
Stop spreading fake science, this shit means nothing.

Idiot

Cause it's tradition. Do you think the average jap thinks sumo is cool? no, fuck no, it'd be just as embarassing for a teen jap to sumo as it is for an american teen, and probably more so as they happily fatshame.
>they're just jealous!
spoken like a fat girl in middle school.

because they're not fat fucks like you americans are.

you're arguing against the laws of thermodynamics

>nice quads

You are arguing against science. Just read what "calories" are and how they are calculated. Then learn how the body digest food.
Congrats, calories are a scam. You were a fanatical retard all along.

calories specifically refers to the digestible calories in food, numbnuts. that's why you can have 0 calorie sweeteners that are essentially sugar, not because they contain 0 energy, but because they can't be digested

Everyone go home. All confirmed research on nutrition is wrong and this user is right.

Wasted quads

Because the Japanese eat their meals in reverse. Where breakfast is the heaviest meal and dinner is the lightest meal.

But then again, if you look at the pic, there really isn't much food there.

Nah thats Chinese. Did you forget they rape
