Something I learned this week is that I'm a poor judge of portion size. Example: 7 raviolis=250 calories. Who the hell eats only 7 ravioli for dinner?? I prob eat 12. A slice of bread-one slice is a serving. Who knew?? This was an educational week for me and I really have to concentrate on portion control.
Congrats to all you guys for sticking with this--so many of you are doing well. Don't ya love being called "losers"--hope that's what I am tomorrow.
Crazy isn't it with the amount of food we did eat as to what a serving size is. 2 oz or 1 cup is 1 serving of pasta. 1 cup on the plate looks like nothing. After topping my pasta with sauce I add steamed or grilled veggies. If I didn't make a meat sauce I will add leftover chicken or whatever I have for the protein. I even toss in navy beans for the protein which is actually pasta fagioli. You would be surprised by adding 1 cup broccoli to 1 cup of pasta you get really full.
]As for the bread look at calories all bread is not alike some have 60 calories per slice others 80 or more.
