compare and contrast

Have a look at Sunday’s dinner: roast chicken, steamed kale, swede and chive mash, and boiled turnips. But have a look at portions (mine versus my husband’s).

My plate is healthy, with a focus on portion control. It's under 400 calories. His is stuffed to the brim. But he can handle it.


This is key to establishing a house with healthy eating, when one person is watching calories and the other isn’t. Fill your refrigerators and your plates with healthy food, but let those who don’t need to watch their size eat a bit more. Then everyone’s happy!
