Hi, TyleRoad. I have found that all meat cooks down differently. I just weigh my portions after the meat/fish/poultry is cooked.

I agree with Kristine about aging and hormones, and also the dairy. Adding that to having a metabolism that requires little food means being careful where others have more leeway.

It is possible that a minute amount of something in a food can trigger appetite. Naturally occurring substances and also man-made, added substances.

I am sending you good thoughts.
