    Hi Zuzka,
    I am trying to get my partner to eat healthy along with me, so in terms of the portion sizes for your recipes is this roughly the same for both males and females?
    Thank you 🙂

      It always depends on hight and weight (also within gender) , but Suzana roughly doubles the portion sizes for males.
