Portion Control : Small Change - Big Impact

I was reminded of the importance of portion control when I was going through client food logs the other day. Typically when clients begin a food lifestyle change we take a look at what they have been consuming up to this point.  As part of that process they log their food intake for a week. I noticed logged calories seemed low yet they had been gaining weight. I realized that the problem was in their estimation of food portions that they did not have an opportunity to measure or weigh. So I pulled out some visual portion control reminders that I am posting here. They are easy ways to gauge the amount of food eaten when dining out and just good reminders in general. You can also see by the portion distortion visual what a significant impact underestimating the food portions can have on your diet.
