5. Portion PlateThe Portion Plate is a tangible demonstration of how much food we should eat. Not only are the plate's illustrated portion areas a good guide to follow, but the make up of a good meal is also presented. This means 1/2 of your plate should be fruits and vegetables, 1/4 of your plate whole grains and the remaining 1/4 lean protein.
6. How Can I Control Portions at Home?Eat breakfast every day. Avoid eating in front of the TV or while busy with other activities. Eating a salad before lunch or dinner is a sure-fire way to keep from overeating. It will help curb your appetite and give you a sense of satiety sooner. Keep snacking to a minimum. But try to buy snack foods in single serving sizes or divvy up full size packages into smaller, individual bags of a single serving. Take seconds of vegetables or salads instead of meats or desserts.Try to eat three sensible meals at regular times throughout the day. Skipping meals may lead you to eat larger portions at your next meal.Eat healthful small meals throughout the day. Mini meals are by far the best way to prevent overeating because you'll get never too hungry and lose control of your portion intake.Eat slowly so your brain can get the message that your stomach is full. Remember, it takes about 20 minutes to feel satiated. By giving myself that "breather" you may realize your weren’t hungry enough for another helping after allTreating yourself once in a while to a "forbidden" food will keep you from feeling deprived; a sense of deprivation can easily lead to overeating. Stop a binge before it starts by indulging every now and then. Try to avoid the abundance of extra calories, eat a reasonable portion.
7. How Can I Control Portions When Eating Out?Order a kid's size meal when you go to fast food places to automatically control portions (and save money!). Share your meal, order a half-portion, or order an appetizer as a main meal. Stop eating when you begin to feel full. Focus on enjoying the setting and your friends or family for the rest of the meal.Take half or more of your meal home. You can even ask for your half-meal to be boxed up before you begin eating so you will not be tempted to eat more than you need. Avoid large beverages, such as "supersize" soft drinks. They have a large number of calories. Order the small size, choose a calorie-free beverage, or drink water with a slice of lemon. If you stop at a fast food restaurant, choose one that serves salads, or order the small burger with lettuce and tomato.Have water or nonfat milk with your meal instead of a soft drink. If you want French fries, order the small size.
