I'd say that it's not a huge portion if anything! For me, flying on a 10 hour CW flight the portion sizes really aren't big at all with the single tray option.

Maybe eat in the lounge first before boarding? That's all I do. Let's face it, often on a CW flight they don't serve until 2 hours after the flight takes off anyhow, so it's often a good 3-4 hours between your lounge food and being served on the plane.
