Misleading Serving Sizes?

Seeing how many servings per dish in restaurant foods is what actually motivates me to prepare most of my meals at home.

Not eating out is definitely the hardest thing for me--I LOVE restaurants. But I've noticed that I definitely cook healthier. Yesterday, I went to a party at a hotel restaurant and everything tasted wonderful, but everything tasted like butter. I added about 2 Tbsp of butter to my lunch calendar to try to demonstrate the calories (in addition to mashed potatoes made with whole milk and butter and fried chicken). The scary thing (and maybe this is because I'm still a calorie counting novice) is that this butter lunch was actually fewer calories than when I went out to dinner a few nights ago at a Mexican restaurant and ordered a salad. Granted, I did have tortilla chips, but I actually counted them for a change (and a margarita). I think it was because the portions at the lunch were actually fairly reasonable.
