Once you get into the habit of ordering every meal at major restaurant chains as if you're ordering two meals (one now, one later), it seems much more sensible economically and calorically. I don't approach any dish with a need to clear the plate. I can't say I've eaten myself to discomfort in many years now.
Alternatively, if I'm wish my wife, we tend to just order an appetizer/salad and one entree. The portion size tends to be about right in that case in many instances (it's still dish-dependent).
