Portion Size - Plate Size

Portion size can be our worst enemy. Many of us were brought up to "clean our plate" and we instinctively fill our plates and eat it all. I have found that using a smaller plate helps me resolve those childhood teachings. For instance, your serving size for meat should be no larger than the palm of your hand, usually 3 - 4 ounces. Add a couple of complex carbohydrates and your smaller plate is FULL. Calories reduced!
