Hello,
I will be going to the states this summer (I am from Europe) and I was wondering whether it is acceptable or reasonable to ask for half sized portions when ordering a meal in restaurants?

I am not much of a big eater and also trying to watch my portion sizes and I know here it is perfectly acceptable to ask for such a request and I was just wondering if this is also fine in the US? As I will be travelling around and staying in hotels, I'd rather not have the leftovers boxed...

Most restaurants do not offer 1/2 portions. IF the menu offers senior meals order from the senior menu as these meals are generally of smaller portions.
