Usually no more than a handful of anything. If I dine out and there is too much on my plate I bring it home for another meal. I'm trying to lose weight. Not so much watching calories as much as portion sizes. This allows me to eat what I want in moderation.

No carbohydrates on the plate? I like my carbs too much to be able to eat like that.

I just recently watched "someone" on "some" program say that you take a normal dinner plate, picture it divided into 3rd's. In one 3rd, place a protein, no bigger nor thicker than your closed fingered hand, in the remaining two 3rd's, fill them up as much as you please with fruits & vegetables, fresh and uncooked would be the best but steamed or cooked w/the least amount of fats & salt & additions would be fine also. Sounded SO reasonable and healthful.

Good Lord, Stephanie! You certainly do have a plate full! This may be a silly question, but what is a Semihomaker? I have lived in the country and small towns all my life.
Is using a smaller plate with ½ for veggies, ¼ for protein and ¼ for carbohydrates a good way to control portions? It almost seems too easy to be a good way to do it.

I'd say that you have a full plate indeed, Stephie!

My plate is pretty full. I have three kids to take care of-8, 10, and 15. My husband is a contracter, but he also makes decorative things with antlers (lamps, etc.). I help him out with that. I cook, clean, and take care of all the other house hold things. I'm also president of our local Semihomakers chapter.
Thanks for asking Arlene!

We are busily working on compiling questions for our upcoming Live Happy and Healthy newsletter. We hope you can help!
With serving sizes increasing in almost all foods over the last 30 years, it can be confusing to figure out exactly how much you're supposed to put on your plate. If you have questions about portion control, send them our way. We'll pick two questions to answer in an upcoming edition of KRAFT Live Happy and Healthy.
