She may have been a dietitian (which does require you to be properly qualified and registered with the HCPC). I can't remember now - it was 15 years ago! Whatever, she was registered and working for the NHS.

Anyway, what she was doesn't matter. Some salads are worse for you than some burgers - and at the time McDonalds salads were particularly bad. Just because it's a salad doesn't mean it is healthy, has less calories or is less filling.

Again, I'm not arguing that all meals are large; you can get smaller portions. And I'm a big fan of the dining plan, especially when it's "free" (you're paying for it somehow, it's just hidden). It's just that America is renowned for it's large meals:



That steak is big enough for two people!



And the spag bol is as big as my daughter's head!

My daughter was served a chicken dish at House of Blues, Disney Springs. It tasted fabulous (I know because we all got some and there was still half a henhouse left on the plate), but when the waitress served it she simply said "Good luck!" to my daughter.
Portions can be large for sure!

We usually have the DDP but we're QS only this year and I have some concerns that I'm going to struggle to find the foods I eat given my diet is the polar opposite of many of the more common WDW offerings.
