    I agree w/everyone that has said use portion sizes, which is more offensive to ask for a smaller plate or to bring your own food?

    I also think you should feel free (with notice) to bring your own food, especially if it helps keep you on track!

    Maybe if you can divide it up, one day eat (albeit portioned) the "family" food and the rest eat yours!

    There are all sorts of compromises that can be made in this situation! =) Hope you can work out what's best for you and your family ;)

    My parents invited me over for a cook-out and i took my own food. I ended up eating some of there's but they were very supportive and know I am trying to get healthier. It should be fine.

    Sorry. They will likely find it rude if you bring your own food. I know from experience. I've done it and my hosts were offended. Family, but offended. If you're concerned enough not to offend, just count your calories as usual and eat less.

    I thought you said in-laws. My bad. Umm if they are YOUR parents you should take whatever you damn well please.
