What's for Sunday Dinner? 300 Calorie Meal Makeovers

Is this what your normal Sunday fare looks like?

Do you ever wonder what your portions should look like?  These are some examples broken down by meal.  If you are trying to lose weight, 5 or 6 of these meals a day will get you on the right track.  While not an advocate of "diet foods" such as reduced fat oils or low fat butter which usually comes in the form of hydrogenated oil (just use less of full fat real butter and olive oil), I still believe these portions are an earnest gaze at what is real eating.  Super Size Me?  NOT!
