Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 My general take on the matter is that the rawer and less " fatty " the dish, the more you can have. I like the concept of " dense protein " being around the size of your fist (which of course, might be distributed as a series of tofu cubes!). Of course, there's the matter of how hungry you are, too. I tend to look at a large plate as a triad, still. When having salad/raw veggies with the main meal for the day, half the plate will usually be salad. The other two thirds are split between the other two dishes, or, if doing a " no protein night " the other half. During main Summer, I tend to lean toward's a sandwich or something with grain in one-third, and the rest roasted or steamed veggies and/or salad. During late Spring and Summer, one plate suffices. In Fall and Winter, there might be another small dish/bowl for soup or something extra. Just seems to work me as a single guy, although variations do occur... but, it appears to be my overall pattern regarding portions. Probably sounds bizarre... In general, though, size may not matter (it's how you use it all... couldn't resist that!) FYI, Mark http://www.soulveggie.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
