full portion

Entire allotted amount

A full portion is a complete serving of food, as opposed to a half portion or child's portion.

The phrase appears most often on menus or in contexts where smaller servings are available: I'll have the full portion of the pasta.

It can extend to anything distributed in measured amounts: Each volunteer received a full portion of the supplies.
