sanlee,
If I can't find the small-medium size potatoes, I will buy the larger ones. I make 2-3 at a time. When it comes to serving, I usually cut them in half or even thirds if they are really large. I start with that & I may have 2nds, but usually I find that 1/2 is enough. Especially if I eat it with veggies. I may eat a fruit later. So even though it isn't that big a thing to count calories, I am sure at some point, a person could overeat & thus gain. My breakfast is usually hash browns & I never measure them, just pour them in the pan & cook until crispy. I find if I eat enough in the am, I am not as hungry at lunch.
Also, be sure you are thoroughly reading labels. I was looking for refried beans a while ago & could not believe how many labeled fat free did indeed have fat in them.
Good for you though, that you are still staying on plan even though your scale is not cooperating.
)still on MM, I really love the simplicity of this plan, I just cook for my hubby, and I eat my taters and greenbeans 
weigh in this am, I'm down 4 lbs...I need to loose about 20, its easy to gain weight on a vegan diet if you don't watch yourself...I need to stick to pure whole foods and leave the junk alone...did you know "oreos" are vegan, see what I mean...vegan junk food
