Portion sizes - what is "normal" to you?

I did think about name changing but sod it, I think I need judged!

Basically, I feel that I've lost control/knowledge of what is normal thanks (but with my not unwilling acquiescence!) to DH's portions, which I then carry on using when I cook.

For example, I'll make a lasagna. It's in a roughly 10" x 5" dish and I'll have half. That's a full packet of mince plus veg, plus pasta, plus sauces.

Or last nights dinner was a 1kg piece of brisket plus loads of veg; and again I ate half. (I mean, I know meat joints shrink, but still!)

That's not right is it? Can someone tell me (roughly!) what size of portions I should be eating? Use lasagna as an example if that helps?

I'm trying to set a good example for DS who is starting to notice things, so I don't want him to start overeating too!

I don't really eat meat in the week spilt so tend to have slightly larger portions of carbs instead. Usually have a veg stir fry or something. Have 35g of pasta or rice if it's for a lunch!

I've lost 3lbs!

Holy moly! Shock

I weighed myself yesterday, and I checked again today! And that's without much exercise as I have a stinking cold and moving makes me cough!

Bloody hell! Grin

Praying I can keep it going now
