Asking for half portions.
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.

We here in the US love our huge meals, so asking for half portions isn't really done, unless it is explicitly listed on the menu. (This is going by Califronia where I live, it might be different in certain other states.)
Fast food restaurants have kids meals that you can order that would be smaller.
