Well I'm pretty new too, but I think I can help you with some of these.

1. For one thing, you can put the bowl on the plate. The other option which is mentioned here a lot is to "virtual plate" it, and just leave enough room for the amount of food in the bowl on the plate. Since I'm afraid I would ...
