Portion Control tips

• While at restaurants order half or share meals. Restaurant


portions are three or four times the right serving size.

• Try ordering a regular (single patty) hamburger the next time


you visit a fast food restaurant. You’ll save about 150 calories.

• Order the small fries. By eating only a small order of fries


instead of the “super-sized” fries, you’ll save about 300
calories.

• Getting an appetizer instead of a main course can help control


the amount you eat because appetizers are often much smaller
than entrées.
More Portion Control tips

• Ask for your meal to be packaged in a “to-go” box, and


eat it for lunch the next day, if it is too much. DON’T
OVER EAT!!

• Don’t eat straight from the bag, put a few pretzels or


chips in a small bowl instead of eating by the handful
right out of the bag.

• Instead of buying snack foods in bulk (or even by the


box) buy single servings—this way you won’t eat the
whole box/bag all at once.

• When using butter, sour cream, mayonnaise and cheese,


use only half the amount you usually do.
