[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2422671, member: 372207"] A normal size plate filled with salad and some protein, plus some added olive oil has a lot less calories than the same plate filled with cooked vegetables, potatoes or pasta, and a fried piece of meat/meat replacer. Salad simply doesn't have many calories for the volume it takes. So the normal sized plate system doesn't work for tracking portions if the food on the plate is not standard. Same goes for the other way around: if someone eats mostly calorie-dense foods, like lots of fatty meats, double cream in their coffee, generous amounts of butter on their veggies, they'll need to eat smaller amounts than a 'normal sized plate'.
