Trying to learn about feeling full as I've been dishing up portions which are too large and then finishing them. So aiming for 2/3 size of a normal portion and then check for fullness. Slightly worried about keeping up the calories now though 🫠

I do find it quite hard to tick all the boxes - enough calories but not too many, lots of protein, smaller portions, plenty of fruit and veg, not too many carbs, no crap.
