When deciding on an appropriate portion to serve your family don't go by the servings at your favorite restaurants. Most restaurants have been increasing their portion sizes over the past few years and our weight scales are proof that the portions are too large.

When I was in my 20's. Way, WAY, back when I was in my 20's and just starting out in the world I took a job at a Mobile Gas Station on the graveyard shift. It was about all I was qualified to do at the time.
