Portion it out

If you are like the majority of Americans, portion size is a struggle. Buying pre-portioned food is usually more expensive than buying in bulk. However buying big packages leads to overeating of more than one serving size at a time. One way to help with this is to pre-portion your own food. It only takes a few minutes and some baggies for $1-$2(which will last you weeks, if not months). Check out the portion size on your favorite snack (you may be surprised), grab a measuring cup and portion them out into small bags. The best way to do this is right after the grocery store and then you can easily grab a snack to take on the go, put one in your lunch box, or to have as a snack at home. If you decide that one baggie isn't enough, grab a second, at least you know you are having 2 servings, NOT 10! Happy bagging!
