[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do feel for OP adjusting to cooking for something outside her norm, it sounds like she is doing much better now!

My H is 6'6 and athletic. I come from a petite family. My mom would make a meatloaf with 1 lb of meat for the 4 of us and it would be good for 2 full meals plus leftovers for dad's meatloaf sandwiches. My similar 1 lb meatloaf feeds the 3 people in our family one night (one being a preschooler) with only enough left for one or two sandwiches. When we first got married I would get frustrated that he wanted seconds and would make it so there wasn't enough for a second dinner of leftovers meaning I had to cook an extra night that week. I've adjusted though and either don't plan on meals made of leftovers or double my original recipe if I want leftovers.[/quote]

My DH and I don't eat much, despite working out regularly. When I cook, I play for maybe a half cup of rice for each of us, or we will spilt a potato, maybe 4oz of meat and a mountain of vegetables (which really don't amount to many calories). I think we both just have low metabolisms and don't require much to sustain ourselves. It is has been an onoing process to keep our boys fed AND to do it healthfully, without leaning on excessive amounts of empty carbs.[/quote]
