Food size

I have to learn to evaluate food quantities again. It’s no problem at all to cook 2 qts of quinoa: 2 c. of grain in a quart of stock cooks up to close to 2 quarts in volume. That’s great, but a serving these days is 1/3 c, so 2 qts amounts to 24 meals. I just bought boneless chicken breasts. I initially was going to buy 3, which ran to just over 2 lbs, but then I recalled that a meal is 4 oz, so I was looking at 8 meals.

I need to cook less if I’m going to eat less—that, or become accustomed to fizzy food with a funny taste.
