Large Hungry Full Smaller Eat People Meaning Food

At a restaurant, someone who isn't very hungry might want to order "light fare," or smaller "portions" (the amount of food intended for one person to eat at one time). The "senior menu," for people who are at least 50 years old, and the "kids menu," for children under 12, offer smaller portions. Many restaurants have a "lunch menu" that serves smaller portions of regular dinner "entrées" (main dishes), but the lunch menu is usually available only in the middle of the day.

"Diners" (people who eat at a restaurant) who are very hungry might look for "menu offerings" (things listed on a menu) that are described as a "generous portion" (very large). They might also consider ordering something that is intended for two or more people to share, such as "fajitas for two" or "nachos to share."

At the grocery store, some foods are "labeled" (with written information on the packaging) as "hungry-man size" meaning that the portion is large enough to "satisfy" (make someone feel full and content) someone with a large "appetite" (desire to eat food). Very large candy bars are often described as "king size," meaning that they are larger than the regular size. Other items, like crackers and cookies, are sometimes sold in a "jumbo pack" (a very large container with more of something than other sizes) or "family size" (a large container meant to be sold to a large family, not just one person).

Other products at the grocery store are meant for people who live alone or who are dieting. Many things are "individually packaged," meaning that each portion has separate packaging. Sometimes this is also called "single-serving packaging." In recent years, "100-calorie packs" have become popular among dieters, because each package has only 100 calories' worth of a particular food.
