At home:
▪ Use smaller plates, bowls, cups, glasses and even silverware.
▪ Measure food regularly—guessing isn’t accurate.
▪ Slow down meal time. Taste and enjoy your food.
▪ Buy items in single- serving portion sizes or make your own single servings.
▪ Prepare healthy lunches and snacks on your day off and use single-serving containers so you can just grab and go on busy days.
▪ Make mini meals by using mini muffin tins and mini loaf pans for your meals.
▪ Plate your food away from the table so that getting a second helping requires you to get up.
