I have found a little trick that may help others out there. In order to cut down on what I eat I buy divider plates and put the meat and one side dish in the smalller compartments and the veggies in the large one. Still hungry? more veggies. It is any easy way to try and limit and cut down on your portions. Good Luck to all:rose: Blue_eyez

Good tip!
Thanks for sharing!

recently the boyfriend commented that i make too much food so he's eating too much of it (go figure,what's he want from an italian/sicilian?) he doesn't eat enough veggies, so now i only cook a moderate portion of the meat or fish and always cook too many veggies. that way after he's eaten the meat there's nothing left but the steamed veggies or salad if he's still hungry. another tip- never serve bread at the table it's just too tempting to grab it!
