Tips for controlling your portion sizes include:
Buy pre-portioned packs as they display almost exactly the amount of calories and nutrients you are getting.
Use kitchen scales as a good measuring tool.
Try and avoid the snacking times of 5-6pm, (this is a great time to exercise if you can).
Use thin layers of spreads or butters instead of thick as this will reduce calorie amounts.
Remember it takes around 20 minutes after you finish food to feel full, so keep in mind you may not always feel full after you directly finish, but this could change very quickly as your body begins processing food.
