I travel a lot to Europe for work, and that's one of my least favorite aspects of getting a sandwich. I am not a large person at all, but I am never satisfied by a typical European sandwich that is more bread than meat.

I think I used to experience something like this too. But I was also overweight. In the last few years I got myself used to a smaller portion and the weight just kind slid off, and I am now at a different baseline. That was my experience, not claiming any of that to be universal.

Well, I rarely eat breakfast during the work week. Based on the quality and size of breakfasts at Nordic hotels, maybe people just aren't as hungry during lunch? Not sure if that's a hotel thing or an every household thing.

I actually remember reading about their lunch habits which are relatively unique in Europe
