That's probably just portion size, which seems to be an American disease. I'm from the U.K. originally and I regard US portions as typically about 3 or 4 meals

I'm from the U.K. originally and I regard US portions as typically about 3 or 4 meals.
Further, I've just managed to drop my weight from 188 to 168 lbs just by regarding this as a hard rule, and just generally eating a bit less than I need.
- csours 8y agoPortion size is probably a big (hah) part of it, but the lady also commented that the food here is more appetizing/indulgent than what she was used to. I do love the flavors and variety available in Texas - we seem to pull from a wide variety of cultures, at least in the big cities.
- watmough 8y agoYes, and I've had to limit myself pretty severely on eating out. Flip-side, is that I can put more effort into having good food. I eat enough bread that I like to bake a loaf every week, and having fresh home-made wholewheat bread available is pretty nice. I do enjoy 1/2 a banh mi, for lunch, a couple times a week, but otherwise I've had to pretty much stop eating Thai curry, as it's just too many calories, esp. when you consider a regular lunch special of soup and (small) dessert in addition.
