Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

Totchoes (tater tot Nachos)

This was someone else’s appetizer but I had about 10 and was too full to eat what I ordered (turkey burger) I really do forget sometimes that I cannot eat large portions until I eat out.
Anyone else randomly forget about real world portion sizes?

I usually just order one item (usually dessert if it’s less calories than a salad ?) and never even finish it. How I was conned into sharing an appetizer is beyond me.

Might be the different portion sizes in different countries but I don't really stick out with my portion sizes in public, depending on what I eat.

We went to a restaurant lately and I had a main dish and a dessert. Granted, the evening was long so dessert was about an hour later than the main dish but anyway.

American portion sizes are certainly out of control.

Izzio San Francisco sourdough bread (2 x 70 cal), air fried toasted with pepper jack cheese (2 slices x 70 cal) and spritzed with lucini garlic infused olive oil (2g =16 cal). Total weight 115g. Ate it all.

You know, from my travels I don't find US portion sizes to be overly large comparatively. I felt the servings were generally large in Germany (although I've only been in Bavaria, and then into Austria). I'm currently in France. In traditional restaurants the portions maybe smaller, but 3 courses is the norm. In casual restaurants, single course meals, like salads, burgers, etc. the portions are the same IMO.

I could do a photo dump, but I'd bore everyone, lol

Inspired by the pasta casserole the cafeteria at work had today. Since it wasn't vegan of course I was going: ?

Either all portion sizes are out of control or I’m the problem.

IDK, but I remember being in Italy more years ago then I want to admit and watching a little old couple devour a kilo Porterhouse steak and antipasti, and veggie sides and dessert ?

Ok, you ask for it!

This a ‘gastronomic’ ie fine dining restaurant. Three courses, pigeon, veal sweetbreads & fig dessert

This was a more casual, a Bistro,
Charcuterie, Tomato Risotto & Chocolate hazelnut tart

The portions look totally like the amount I usually eat. Maybe I am the problem, lol.
