half portion
Smaller meal size
Half portion describes a smaller-than-standard serving of food, typically half the usual amount: I'll have the half portion of pasta.
The term extends figuratively to anything or anyone undersized or inadequate—calling someone a half portion suggests they're physically small or lacking in some quality: That half portion couldn't intimidate anyone.
