I’ve been doing hello fresh for a couple months now and this is the first time I’ve been genuinely surprised at how small the portion was! The pork chop was like half the size of the picture!

Lmao they covered half the plate with rice

Don’t allow the pretty pictures to shake your confidence. They likely do all they can to gussy up the pictures to entice people. Did you weigh the pork beforehand?

That’s why I quit. It was just my husband and I but I still had to order the box for 4 people so we would have enough.

We had this last night. We didn’t get enough broccoli but other than that we had enough.

Your plate looks like a normal size serving though

If you think about it you put your broc and pork over the rice vs having it on the side so maybe that is why

They also sliced it on a very thin diagonal and you cut yours straight across. So theirs looks like a lot but it’s just very thinly sliced. 🤷♀️

It definitely does look a little smaller, but as silly as it sounds, try cutting the meat diagonally next time.
Your cuts are straight down, so you only get 4 fat (or as-fat-as-the-pork-chop) slices. They cut them diagonally, so the surface area of the cut side of the meat is bigger, making it look like the pieces are the same width as yours (and your brain assumes equally as thick), but really, they are the same width, but thinner.
Don’t know if I explained that well, but if you put the rice in its own quadrant and cut the meat differently, you could make it look darn close to theirs.

We have always enjoyed the pesto pizza offered in the marketplace – usually get six slices out of it. The most recent one we received was considerably smaller. They claim it’s 3-4 servings but there is no way, it’s not even 2. I’m getting really tired of all these companies jacking up prices and cheaping out on ingredients

I stopped ordering because my husband could eat the entire “2 person” meal easy. And he’s a thin man

The portions are smaller than I’m used to but I think they are correct on paper for what we should be eating.
In this case your plating vs theirs is a bit different that’s all

I’m not a large person and I felt like the portions were entirely too small for me and my husband. Big part of why I canceled.
