How many plates of food do you eat for dinner?

I ask because apparently 2 or 3 is too much. I have many friends who tell me they only eat 1 full plate for dinner and that's how they've done it their whole lives? 

What about OT? Lets say your eating rice or pasta.

None. Plates give me indigestion.

I'd like to eat at least 2. But I try not to.themajormayor

i try not to eat any rice or bread for dinner. it's freakin' fattening.

Just 1 as I have a full lunch and usually a snack between lunch and dinner.

Um yeah I only eat one plate of dinner usually. 

When I go round to dinner at my parent's and they cook lots I sometimes have seconds.

I usually try not to eat the plate, but sometimes my hunger gets the better of me.

One.

Just one... like 95% of people out there.

Usually just one unless I'm at an all you can eat buffet or something. Try to count my calories and eat less carbs towards the end of the day.

I don't eat any plates for dinner. I hate eating a heavy meal late in the day so I usually just have an ensure with some fruit of a snack. My heaviest meal is usually my first meal and even then I only have 1 or 1 and a half plates.Diablo-B

I don't think I eat a plateful of food for dinner. Of course, our dinner plates are quite big. Now, if it's like a little paper plate, I'd say, one plate.

It was different when I was in HS though. I can eat 2-3 (dinner plate) platefuls per meal and not gain any weight because of all my daily and weekly activities: varsity soccer plus cycling, swimming, and basketball. 

fixed the op for all you smart asses....BossPerson

I thought about giving a smart ass response. Buuuut.....nah. :lol:

It depends on how much food there is on the plate but i mostly eat one. My brother though can eat up to 3 plates and is still hungry... :|

I think that percentage (at least in the US) might be quite a bit lower considering the obesity rate in the US.

I try to eat one for dinner. It really depends on what I'm having for dinner, though. Some foods are a lot more filling and fattening than others. It also depends on the time of the year; I have a greater appetite in the winter than in the summer. 

Completely depends what it is.  And I dont just fill a plate eat it, fill a plate, eat it.  Some stuff doesn't even reach my plate :P.  Anywhere from 1 - 3 I would say.  Probably at least 2 on average.  Man I am starving right now.  see ya :P.

PS - pasta is heavy so that can be something that I eat less of, but it still depends.  I love pasta though!

OMG some of yall must be whale's lol I'm currently "cutting" for summer so 1 cup of pasta or rice,4 cups of broccoli and some protein...you guys should count calories/serving sizes. ONE cup of rice is 200 calories O.o crazy huh?

Not me. I can munch on iceberg lettuce, celery, and tomatoes raw, but not broccoli. For me, them broccoli better be soaked with melted cheese.

1 full plate

That's not really a good metric because a myriad of different factors boil down to plate sizes varying pretty substantially. Usually, I eat one plate, but it's a pretty solid plate. Occasionally a second serving of something on a second plate.

no dinner for me, i go from brunch to late night meal

This.

The amount/kind of plates you use is logistics, not a method of quantification.

Depends on what you're eating, and how, the amount of plates used in a single meal can vary substantially.

Honestly, one-two depending what is being served and how hungry I am.

If it's spaghetti I go back for seconds. Everything else is one plate.

Usually 2 ish, depending on the serving sizes. I'm a hungry mofo. By the way your sig rules, best band ever
