I feel like I eat a lot more than this. My nut butter and oil portions are outta control!

I always try to fill 1/2 my plate with veggies/fruit and then the rest with grains or proteins. <br /><br />I always have troubles with portion size though - how many servings is a fruit and vegetable (ex: how may asparagus is a serving). But I figure I would rather eat too many fruits and veggies then other things.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091140806417514915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-88608309350669703132011-02-19T18:20:03.065-05:002011-02-19T18:20:03.065-05:00Im mixed on volumetrics concepts.

The whole thing comes out to about 150 calories. I always have people coming up to me and they say things like "omg you eat so much food!" hahah...but my huge salad is way less calories than the pre packaged granola bar they are having as a snack. Same thing with my breakfast. I eat 1 serving of oatmeal with 1 serving of greek yogurt. It poofs up and looks huge, but not alot of calories. I love it. And I agree, the taste is out of this world awesome. I love whole foods. Thanks for bringing this topic up! I feel like I encounter it alot. ha!chrystahttp://www.cuisineats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-81697643468597913512011-02-18T14:10:48.733-05:002011-02-18T14:10:48.733-05:00Great tutorial!

I LOVE eating a large meal knowing its healthy and will keep me full for a long time.

She is on a "diet", but the foods she chooses are just wrong and she ends up annoyed at the end of lunch that I had a way better lunch than her and I'm like um... you could have this lunch too haha. <br /><br />By the way I just caught up on your last post- you and Nick are the cutest. Also agree on the marriage thing- Eric and I lived together for over 2 years before getting married and we had bought a house a year and a half before. Not a single thing changed after we got married other than we can call each other husband and wife, which really just makes us feel old actually haha.Kelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415604174106394910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287299798491768678.post-13701300702755681402011-02-17T19:36:28.114-05:002011-02-17T19:36:28.114-05:00Such a fun exercise!

Whole grains and lots of fiber is soooo much better than that plate of restaurant pasta you described... While that white pasta isn't filling at all, one serving of chewy, nutty whole grain barley or oats is so satisfying! Same with veggies, etc... A beautiful plateful! :-) YUM!
