If eating out, order your meal and ask the server to wrap up half of the portion to take home with your for the next day, keeping your portion size in check, and stretching your dollar into two meals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I go to a restaurant, I eat three-quarters of the food in front of me. That cuts my calorie intake by 25 percent.
Sometimes we used to eat once a day... chicken backs. You could buy four chicken backs for a quarter.
Portion control is a real problem. My husband and I always split one appetizer and one entree. I'm sure waiters hate us.
On average, I order about three meals for myself in one sitting.
Restaurants serve supersize portions to make you feel you're getting your money's worth.
I used to eat a whole chicken, every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It's a mess.
I don't always prepare such rich meals. Sometimes I'll just serve a simple quiche, salad and dessert for dinner. During the week I try to eat lightly.
I eat two breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners throughout the day. It's always eating.
I'm an avid runner and play soccer every weekend, but I also have to constantly watch what I eat, and I'm always thinking about how to balance my meals.
Serve yourself, put the food away, then eat.
