I see your point, Atomic Rose & agree--most people aren't like me and measure every morsel. Also, alot of people in this culture are accustomed to LARGE (okay, restaurant or "super-sized") portions. Alot of the larger people I know tend to eat large portions, not just of starchy carbs but other foods, too. Maybe I'm funny, but when I just ate rice or pasta or potatoes, I'd seriously be rather full after a cup, at the most--even if veggie/fruit sides were not included.
I suppose also, that most people regard starches as "the filler" and literally fill up on them and are habituated, culturally, to rather large portions.
So, I guess it ultimately depends on habit/custom, perhaps mood (complex carbs/starches are good for elevating serotonin levels).
(Sorry, I'm suffering today and might have to do a modified BTC diet for a little while.)
Kate, IBS-D.
