[geordiegirl]

i know we don't have to weigh the free food , but after being on WW for so long i don't want to eat just cos i can

what size portions do you have for rice / pasta etc

also if i was having steak / chicken , again how much is too much

If you are in doubt use the recommended serving size on the packaging. Or for meats go with the amount quoted for a HEb on the green plan. But if you are still hungry after that amount don't feel bad about going back for more because you really can eat as much as you need to feel satisfied.

If you are sticking to the 1/3 superfree rule then your portions will be naturally controlled.

Also don't forget that the free foods are high satiety foods, so it is better to have a bigger filling meal if needed, than restrict too much and then be hungry later and snack on low satiety foods.

I did a blog post on the benefits of superfree foods which might be useful for you.
