Eating out, especially in the US, is horrifying when you look at serving calories.

Why does every major restaurant feature individual meals with a caloric intake of an entire day’s energy?

If I'm smart, I can offset this by eating half of that meal in the restaurant and taking the rest in a to-go container. Two meals for the price of one, and reheating in the oven is almost as convenient.

Separately though, I have no idea why restaurants seem to exclusively offer gigantic portions over here. I wonder how common this is elsewhere in the world? I'm not well traveled so I genuinely have no idea.
