To think my portion was too large (photo)?

[Ribrabrob]

I’m living a bit ‘on the road’ at the moment (essential) and relying on eating out - trying to be as healthy as I can as I’m trying (!) to lose weight.

I have attached a photo of tonight’s evening meal, my only meal of the day plus a few snacks. My photo isn’t the best unfortunately but it was a bowl of spicy rice and a bowl of bean stew/soup (I’m vegetarian).

Aibu to think I had too much? Would you have eaten all of it? Unfortunately through years of dieting and binge eating I have lost sight of what a normal portion of food is and how ‘normal’ people eat.

Ps i appreciate it doesn’t look very nice but it was actually quite tasty!

If thats all u have had today its fine.... nice and healthy x

That is a tonne of food.

It's not about competitive undereating but I do wonder if this is why the general public has such a weight problem. Veggie or not that's a lot of food!

It's two cereal bowls full. That is not a lot of food when it's the only meal of the day.

That looks alright to me. Quite a lot of rice (or whatever grain that is). I think I'd have mixed a few spoons of it into the stew and left the rest, but if I was really hungry - as you might be if that's your only meal for a day - I don't think I'd bat an eyelid, especially given that it's meat-free.

Looks like alot but I'd have ate it all. Though I am huge.

That's two huge plates full of mostly carbs. Not so healthy! And it would look more appealing if it weren't all beige. :)
