In the nutritional information section of the packet. Small portions hey? The granola I’m eating says ‘per 45g portion’. It’s a 550g pack and I think I’ll get through it in 4 days tops.
Do you stick to the portion size
No I eat less than that
No I eat far, far more
No idea
Yes strictly stick to recommended portion amounts of things
Got these small bowls, like side dish bowls - I eat my cereal in one of those and it is about right for that portion size, get about 10 days out of a packet of granola. It’s not so much about strictly sticking to the recommendations, more that I just don’t need that much granola
I normally eat far, far more, however, I’ve become a lot better a wallowing in the misery of weighing out bowls of things, so as to maintain recommended portion sizes
Boring twat alert:
I started eating the recommended serving of stuff (particularly when cooking) about 6 months ago and after a while found it perfectly filling although I would add 2 caveats, 1) I’ve never really ate much snack food at home 2) when we go out or get takeaway I still eat an absolute ton
Depends. I weigh it out (the 90g - wholemeal pasta I guess) and know my wife will take less but also we’re having it with a quorn bolognese or whatever
I think it started when we were making lunches for the week and I wanted to make sure we had enough for each day and that we had a similar amount each day, Then I didn’t want to find myself making porridge with like 100g of oats, Then I just realised it was easy. It definitely has an element of body confidence issues in there. I only realised I didn’t hate my body shape in about November 2018.
edit: also, I wouldn’t make a cake that didn’t have the ingredients weighed out accurately. I know how many onions, veg etc whatever by eye, but there’s no other easy way to tell how many rices or pasta I’m using, for example.
Put dry pasta in your bowl until it looks like enough, forgetting that it gets bigger, therefore ending up with way too much but still obviously eating it all
