because their meals are like 1/2 of the size of a USA meal.

A restaurant meal in america is like 1500-2000 calories. in france it's like 1000.

I stayed in Paris+Marseille for 3.5 weeks and found the portion sizes the same overall as what we get in California, only slightly less than southern AZ. These crazy portions are really only a thing at fast/low quality restaurants around here.
