Authentic japanese recipes with japaneese portions???

Question

I have been reading a book on how japanese and some other asian cultures are healthier than americans and it has some recipes and good portion sizes but when I look up japanese recipes they seem to be americanized especially the portions. I have been working to cut back my portion sizes the last week and in one week I lost 2 pounds before that I was trying to cut back on the bad food and work out an hour a day on the treadmill it took me 3 weeks to loose a pound and a half. I am sure there is a key to the portion sizes as well as the type of food they eat.

Anyhow any information on authentic japanese meals and proper portion sizes would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Well for rice, one person eats half a cup of rice cooked with half a cup of water, one bowl of miso ( the standard bowl for miso soup you can find them in Asian grocery stores), 100 grams of meat ( fish included), one egg, one cup of vegetables and finally one cup of fruit for desert.

Answer 2

I haven't ever made japanese dishes, but I am sure you will find what you're looking for by googling "Authentic Japanese Recipes" and I have included some sites.
