It's not even the calories, but the amount. One of my dinners is a large plate stacked with a pile of food. It looks huge. It is huge. But 90% of it is vegetables (carrots, mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, onion), and a small chicken breast, all sauted and pan fried with like a teaspoon of oil to get the onions and garlic going, and a half a cup of brown rice. By volume, it's probably equivalent to 8 big macs. By calories, and price, it's just a fraction of. But yeah, I eat a lot of food and stay naturally thin. Must be my lucky genetics.
