If I were to eat a large bag of chips (french fries) I would be filled up the same if I had a small bowl of cauliflower cheese if I just waited for 30 minutes. I just need to wait for the filling sensation to kick in. The sensation of feeling full is time delayed but small meals are enough.
If I eat a large meal before I sleep and my left arm is between my torso and the mattress, I get acid reflux. I get a burning sensation in my throat and sometimes the acid goes into my mouth. If I eat small meals and leave a 2 hour gap before I sleep then there is no chance of me getting acid reflux.
I think it is better to eat a large breakfast then a smaller dinner. Dinner should be smaller than breakfast. Perhaps it should just be a bowl or a plate that isn't filled up fully. Breakfast is preparing you for the day and dinner is just for the night.
