Are my portion sizes adequate

So recently I switched from my large white dinner plates to my sons plastic ikea ones (can't remember the name but they're their most popular kids plates and are used in their cafes too).

A few people have suggested my portion sizes are not big enough so I was just looking for opinions on here.

Apart from these pics I've had:

1 four finger kit Kat, American cup size of strawberries, 1 banana, 2 'my first yogurts' from Rachel's organic, 1 fish finger (leftover by my son).

I've also had a skinny latte no sugar, 3 cups of coffee with 1 sugar each and a diet lemonade.

Does that seem enough calories? I know you're not experts but just after opinions really.

The food is 2 slices wholemeal bread with Nutella (on a normal plate) and banana, cous cous with turkey breast meatloaf, a wholemeal thin and veg, baked potato with beef burger and veg.

I don't think people are able to transfer your portions onto a normal plate. I wouldn't say your portions for an adult are ridiculous by any means!

We use them plates at work and there not huge at all.
I think its adecent size meal there for an adult.

Yep, definitely mass orthorexia at play here.

They're kiddie plates from IKEA! For real, when you're going around analysing the portion sizes on your plastic kiddie plate, restricting yourself to eating on plastic kiddie plates, posting photos of it on huge internet sites asking if it's too much, weighing yourself often and your life is limited by your eating habits (no 'cheat' days, whatever those are, meals out, takeaways, eliminating food groups when not medically necessary), you have an eating disorder. At the least, give your head a wobble and see your GP - it's no way to go through life.

Why eat nasty kiddy yogurts? You aren't a kid and don't have to eat crap like that.
