I'm a portion person, if the box says 8 rice crackers are a 110 cal serving with 1g of fat, I'm eating 8 crackers. Maybe I should indulge a little!! Eat 10 crackers!! As for pasta and rice, I can manage, barely, a cup of pasta at one sitting, and maybe 3/4 cup of rice. I usually use a sandwich plate for my dinner. If I put it on a dinner plate it looks ridiculous - there is all this plate around my little piles of food! Tonight I did awesome!! I had a cup of mash potatoes, 2 turkey weiners, no buns, and a cup of salad. Yes, salad!! I was so happy not to have an attack after a "healthy" meal like that! I really really have to go grocery shopping!! There's little IBS friendly stuff in the house!! Back to portions, if you're trying to lose weight, and you can follow the portion size, I'm sure that you could lose. I'm just looking to gain a lb or two!
