Wilma’s “try putting food on smaller plates” idea may have some merit – depending on what the food is. I occasionally like to have pretty much a forest of salad, and that wouldn’t be likely to fit on something that’s barely larger than a saucer. But… fresh from eating a deep ramen bowl full of wild rice (hiding under the chicken and veg you can see in one of the photos below), I can definitely agree that too much is too much. Wild rice isn’t even rice – according to the internet, it’s a grass. I’m overly full because I ate too much grass (she said, sheepishly!).
Lunch = small bowl (tofu, tomatoes, vegan camembert, courgetti)
Evening meal = deep ramen bowl may as well be a bucket! (chicken, cashews, yellow pepper, celery, onion, carrot, garlic, courgette, satay sauce, lime juice, wild rice)
The Gloji video I’m watching at the moment is talking about calories and volume, which underpins what I found out above re eating dinner out of a large bowl. I was asked to think of what foods I eat that are higher in calories and it might be the nuts and seeds but especially the nuts. I might do a one-day calorie counting exercise where I weigh and measure everything then see how many calories it adds up to. Just the one day though. I’ve counted calories before and it’s a pain in the rear. But it would give me an idea.
Alternatively, hmmm… if it’s not too bad then get doing that step aerobic video and I can worry less about it. 😈Â
