I was trying to come up with some ideas to plan a menu based on my new calorie goal (I always do better at anything with a plan...), and I came across this article that I found both interesting & eyeopening - especially the part that states that the average American consumes 3,800 calories a day! WOW! There's also several meal ideas that I thought sounded pretty good and balanced. Check it out at http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2007/04/26/what_do_300_calorie_meals_look_like.php

Thanks for the link - I can imagine 3800 calories is probably pretty spot on, especially when you look at the size of plates that restaurants use to plate food on! I swear I've got serving platters that are about the same size. :)
I absolutely rely on my food scale and measuring cups to keep me on track. I've been doing this weight loss thing for a while now, but I've found that when I try to eyeball portions, I'm usually way off.
