[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care how you were raised, I can't imagine gobbling up all of dinner knowing that my teen is going to be hungry when he gets home. [/quote]

Yeah, I mean, don't you make enough food for 4 (or whatever number of people)? And so if the 3 people at home eat the food for 4, aren't they overeating? That sounds greedy. [/quote]

I do think this is, at least partly, a family size thing.  
I have 4 kids, including 2 teens.  If I make enough food for 6 of us, 5 people can eat all of it pretty easily.

I guess I don't understand why you think a 5-person meal is "enough for six." Why not just make enough for 6 people to eat until they're full? [/quote]

Spoken like someone who does not have teen boys. They don’t get full. They could always eat another chicken breast (though vegetables sometimes get left over). If I want to save a helping I pre-remove it before serving. [/quote]

Pp here, and it’s this.  Tonight I used three pounds of meat and made eight burgers for dinner (with potatoes and salad and fruit).  Two burgers for each of the boys, and one for everyone else.  Everybody was here, and it was fine.  If DH wasn’t there, two or three of the kids would have split the last burger.
