Women need less energy to run their bodies than men do, and therefore need to eat less than men, even of the same weight, height, age etc etc etc. So it follows that if you eat the same as your husband, unless he is really teeny weeny, then either he will shrivel away to nothing or the woman will put on weight.
Women 's portions need to be smaller than men's. How can we achieve this?
The easiest way is to use a smaller plate yourself. This will make it easier for you to estimate a healthier portion. Large plates give us a subliminal message that large portions are okay. Join the Small Plate Movement, run by my hero Brian Wansink of Cornell University.
When you have got used to using a smaller plate (it takes a weekend), you no longer have to think about food all the time. Your plate size does it for you.
