            Portion control can be more important than what you’re eating. As long as you get all your vitamins, minerals, carbs, and protein. Unfortunately the US is anathema to portion control.

              It sucks being raised to both clean your plate and having honking big portions. I try to eat less and my body starts shrieking it’s starving and like, no you stupid meat husk! You are not!!

                the trick is to find things you enjoy that are very filling but not caloric, basically any non-starchy (so not potatoes) vegetable/fruit will do it.

                reminder that the weight watchers consider basically all fruits to be a straight up freebie, you can eat as much as you want.

        at least here in sweden they make all kinds of healthier pasta, especially the stuff simply called “fiber pasta” is basically identical but with a bunch of fibre in it, easiest improvement you could make to your diet.
