Lagom: Enough is as good as a feast

I came across an interesting term that is popular in Swedish culture. It is "Lagom", which roughly translated means "just enough". Not too much, not too little. It is a very 'Goldie Locks and The Three Bears' approach to life. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page: Lagom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It made me think of portion sizes for us banded people. So many threads talk about what "full" feels like. I think Lagom is a good term to describe it. Not too much food so that I feel heavy and bloated, but not too little food, so that I don't stay hungry all the time. If I eat until I feel a "full stop", then I don't feel well at all...
By most accounts, a "Lagom" amount of food would be around 1 cup by volume, if properly restricted. For me, that seems to be the right amount.
Any thoughts?
