I have this rather large bag that I carry daily to work. In it is stuff like phone book, check books, notes, calendar, lunch and breakfast. It's the later two that takes up most of the room. My breakfast is always a starch, and two fruits. Lunch is a big salad (wet ingredients in a separate container until lunch), soup and I bring two large bottles of water.
I was unpacking my lunch, and a overweight gal came by and said, gosh look at all the food you eat. Is that only a day? I said yes, until I get home. She said, Oh my god don't you get full. Well, yeah, isn't that what I'm suppose to do? I said it's mainly vegetables and fruit, so not really that much. she said It's a huge amount.
Now I for one, have seen her eat small things, like a candy bar. I know that candy bar didn't fill her. She thinks cause her's in smaller that she's doing better at saving calories, than Faith with her huge honking two meals?!?!?!
Thankfully the past year I have inspired two folks to start eating a salad a day for some veggies and fiber.
That doesn't sound like a lot of food to me! On another note, I am SO SICK OF THE LEAN PROTEIN GIMICK! It is everywhere you look.
