By just looking at that picture of the plate with the food when you think about it...it looks like alot of food. I try to do have my plate with salads and veggies but sometimes it is really hard. But one thing I have always done in all my adult life is when we go out to eat at like Hometown buffet, I use only one plate and on that plate, I ALWAYS fill it up with a salad and then put my other choices AROUND that salad and so I can't overeat because there is no room for much. And I NEVER EVER EVER have dessert. Thats a personal choice as I do not like sweets, but I will usually fill up a salad plate with just a small salad as my desert. It works for me, it may not work for others. My husband thinks I'm crazy having salad for my desert while he eats 4 or 5 of those custard flan or whatever it is and ice cream. LOL
