Get the small serving size. I now have this as a reflex:
"Would you like a small, medium or large ?" "Small."
"Regular, large or jumbo ?" "Small." *
"Would you like to supersize that ?" "No."
"Would you like fries with that ?" "No."
Avoids being flustered by a waiter / waitress looking at you or a queue of hungry people. Avoids overeating regret or plates of of uneaten food. On the rare occasion I finish still hungry, I can usually get a doughnut or something.
(* you don't have to conform to stupid linguistic inflation games, they know what you mean)
Follow-up to this: It's much easier to purchase additional food.
Over-ordering will lead to either waste or, more likely for most people, over-eating. Either way, you've wasted money, and in the latter case you're also suffering health effects.
