portion smortion

I lost a poofteenth of a kg last night. Although I was happy that I didn’t go *up* I am a bit disappointed that after vomiting/being sick for 2 of the days I might have done a little better. On Saturday night we went out to dinner and I couldn’t finish my beef curry it was so *huge*…I ate about 2/3 of it but it was probably enough to do the damage…that and the fact that I kept stealing chips of B’s plate….

So back on track today. I resolve this week to keep an eye on portion sizes, especially for things like pasta and rice. I actually measured my pasta serve into a cup this afternoon rather then visually doing it and I must say it was significantly smaller then the portion I had estimated.

    Yeah. It’s worth noting though, that all measurements in WW recipes are for dry (ie uncooked) portions, except where indicated. This means that some pasta portions are HUGE.

    I have always just gone by the cooked portions as I have to make quadruple quantities so that Luke doesn’t fade away – literally….. Therein lies part of the problem for me I think.
