generous portion
More than expected
A generous portion is an amount of food that's larger than expected or standard—enough to leave you satisfied rather than wanting more.
The phrase implies abundance without waste: The restaurant is known for its generous portions.
It applies beyond food to anything given liberally: a generous portion of blame, a generous portion of the profits.
