ZoneManhattan Day 2: Dinner and Portion Sizes

28 Aug

Our dinner tonight consisted of Herbed John Dory with asparagus, baby pattypan squash, and red quinoa. It was quite tasty, with a bit of a pesto-like sauce.

But our servings got me thinking about portion size. Too often I fall into the trap of eating just as much as Mike does. But he is much taller and, well, a guy! One thing I’m hoping this diet does is help me better control my portions. I know how much I should eat, but I always wind up clearing my plate anyway and splitting everything pretty much on half. May this be a lesson learned.

Cherry Waffles with Roasted Nectarines and Turkey Bacon. Small side of cottage cheese.

Was worried that the waffle heated in the microwave would be gummy, and the lack of any syrup/sauce would make it dry. But the flavor was so great, none of that mattered.

Can “diet” food really be this satisfying?
