…at a buffet

Friends have stopped taking me to a buffet coz they think I dont eat enough and so its a waste of money to take me to a buffet with them :hinna:

**Of all things they could get mad at you for…they choose THIS??? Pack the left-overs and take em home…that way you won’t be wasting. Don’t eat before going out, so you’re likely to eat more.

There is always so much food , I hardly ever get to taste all of them dishes … any tricks you guys can share to enjoy more food at a buffet?

It is said that buffets are one of the worst ways to eat if you’re trying to lose weight or cut down on calories. All those options…and no limit on how much you can put in your plate…actually leads to consumption of excess calories which isn’t healthy. If you share this tidbit with your friends…maybe they’ll stop pestering you and will be more careful about how much they pile on to their plates themselves.

The obvious tips include , not to have any drink , dont eat anything for two days before the buffet .etc etc … we need new tricks

^I think it may have something to do with how the space on your plate is used. If you take only a couple of items…and small portions of it…it may make your plate look near empty. Instead…you put small portions of MANY things in your plate…so that the plate looks more filled up. It may give the illusion of you eating a fuller meal. And then eat slowly. If you get done with your food before your friends and just sit there with an empty plate…it could look like you never took that much food to begin with.
