Hi all,
This may seem like a really really stupid question but what do you consider to be "normal" sized portions of food?
I'm mean for example, if you are making mashed potato for two, how many potatoes? How many slices of roast beef? How much spaghetti etc etc
I have come to the conclusion that I really have no idea what a "normal" sized portion is!!
I always had huge portions as a child and never realised how much I was overeating until I now longer ate at home, which resulted in hugggge weightloss!
Yes, I should have figured this all out by now but apart from eating with family (who are all massive eaters) I don't really have any experience of others eating habits.
God, reading that back sounds so sad! I promise I have actually left the house....once or twice!
So, I think that I still serve up wayyy to much for myself and DH, we do waste alot, our shopping bill is huge and I'm sure we are going to end up much more cuddly!
Some guidelines would be very much appreciated
