my parents grew up poor, so growing up i was forced to always finish my plate, no matter how full i was. i wouldn't delve into the penalties for not doing so in this topic, but let's just say if it happened today the CPS would've taken me away from them

but now I feel an ingrained obligation to finish all my meals...but restaurant meal portions are so large

some lunch portions are 1400 calories (I learned about calories a couple years ago), that's almost enough calories for an entire day!

A 2000 calorie diet is not for everyone and is not the normal across the board.

People's caloric needs are different on a person-to-person basis.

I hardly ever finish an entire portion at a restaurant unless I just haven't eaten the entire day + done a lot of activities. 9.9/10 I'm getting a to-go box.
