Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 22: Restaurant Portions May Destroy My Diet
Congratulations on your diet. This is one of, if not my biggest issue with American restaurant dining. I love to eat but have to watch my weight and portion sizes are way too big. I live in Chicago where at most not all, they are ridiculous. I try to share an entree, or get 2 appetizers but I also love food so will eat more than I should if it is on the plate. Most of the time a main protein dish can be divided into 2 and sometimes 3. I actually like eating at some of our higher end Chicago restaurants just because they will do tasting portions. I wish other places wold catch on!
