[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Met a friend at Cava for lunch last week.  My bowl was bulging and I added rice, lentils, feta, a side of pita bread and two dressings.  Hers was full of greens and I didn’t see a single extra starch-no rice, bread and she had a clear salad dressing of any at all.  I was like oh, now I see how that works.  She’s petite and compact.  I’m post menopausal and weigh 200 lbs.  She’s about a decade older in her 70’s.  [/quote]

My family teases me all the time, because I can usually stretch a Cava bowl for three meals. My attitude is that I just Need the taste of cava not necessarily all the substance. So I always double up on everything, take it home and add a third of the ingredients to a chopped head of Romaine lettuce in a big mixing bowl and drizzle dressing on top.  It looks like I’m making a big salad/meal for a family but I actually sit down and eat it right out of the bowl. The secondary benefit is it’s makes eating out actually a financial deal.

I’m still not a skinny Minnie, but my weight is maintained, it’s delicious, and I feel full and less guilt when I do binge. [/quote]
Double as in you pay for double meat, and double toppings? [/quote]
