Can you say Paper Plate?
Your average paper plate is a tiny bit bigger than an average salad plate - and a LOT smaller than an average dinner plate. The smaller the surface, the less food it can hold. Yes, you can pile it high, but if you use a cheap paper plate that isn't a very smart idea, is it? Too much weight and your food will end up in the floor! (and then you'll have really fat dogs!)
If you see a full plate your brain may just make your stomach think that it is receiving a lot of food. I say that half the battle is making your stomach believe it is not hungry anymore. (The other 1/2 is getting those pesky taste-buds to hush up!) So give it a try - either purchase some small throw-away plates or just break out your salad plates for all of your meals. Fill it up once and don't go back for seconds!
Don't tell the recycling police, but I have to admit that title should say Styrofoam plate instead of paper. But the topic is not about saving the planet, it's about saving you some calories.
