Frisco- The "Art" of Re-Plating

Hey all....

I'm on location in Milan Italy right now going through a week of "Combat" eating. Restaurants for just about every meal.

I am in maintenance and plan for these kind of situations and can eat pretty freely and keep my ratios and quantity in check.

It's normal for me to experience "More"...... more carbs, more sugar more calories...... on these trips......

I start out by going into it "light" I'll cut back for a week or two to get on the low side of my range....... than with mindful eating I'm pretty good by the end.

I thought I'd show y'alls what I do sometimes.......

I'm usually eating with other people and just order what I want.... sometimes just an app. and sometimes a full entree.

If I order an entree I just portion my serving out within the plate or I will re-plate using a bread plate.

Here is an example of a "re-plate":

This is what I ordered from the appetizers

This is my "re-plated" version on a coffee cup saucer.

In Milan? I feel so sorry for you. *deadpans*

Gorgeous. I usually just shove what I don't want to the side or throw it in a box LOL. Your way is much prettier!

Any plate looks 100% better to me without broccoli!  Then add grated cheese and olive oil, and it's a glorious feast!

Combat eating. Milan. Hmmmm...... somehow my heart isn't aching for you. LOL!

Hope you're having a great time!!!! BTW, your plate looked better than the original!

Good idea. Good share.

Looks healthy and it looks pretty too! Have a great time!

Obviously, an artist.  Mine is just slopped.  I like yours better.  I would like it even better in Milan.
