Should men get bigger portions in restaurants than women?

Balanadan

Men have a higher recommended daily calorie allowance than women so why are they served the same size portions in restaurants?

Is this practice unhealthy and contributing to our obesity epidemic?

When I worked in restaurants. They were generally set portions at a set price.
However you could always order extra portions at your own cost!

Couldn't they just have one menu for men, and one for women?

Keep current portions the same size for women, but make mens bigger, rather than keeping mens the same size and making womens smaller...

Eating in a restaurant is a treat and so should happen so infrequently that it makes no difference to your overall intake and diet.
No one meal makes any difference, it’s the overall intake compared to expenditure that counts.

If it's the same price, it should be the same size.

Just take a bit from the woman's meal and your sorted.

Not sure to be honest but each gender must be allowed to order of which ever menu of their choosing.

Given more Irish men than women are obese, I'd say no.

I’m currently breastfeeding so burning approx 500 calories more than a “normal” woman. I eat more than my husband.

Everyone has different calorie requirements. Just because they put the food in front of someone doesn’t mean they have to eat it.

Can we take boards down again for another 24 hours? It’s still not good.

Eating in a restaurant is not a treat nowadays, its a very regular if almost daily thing for many if you include getting your lunch and other types of eating out. I'd eat in a restaurant at least once a week, get takeaway at least once a week and buy my lunch out everyday.

As for portion sizes I find them a little on the small side for me but my oh finds them a little big so in most restaurants I finish her dinner after my own and in general this is about the right amount to fill me up.

Tommy lost a lot of weight in the Big House . No way was he getting full portions .

We get to finish our wives dinner?

Changing the status quo would actually reduce the women's portion as dinner portions are based on a man's daily requirement.

I like getting to finish her meal

This is why the man should order for the woman. If she looks like she's put on a few pounds order her a salad.
