Portion Sizes

One thing I've always had a problem with is overeating and portion sizes. Even now I still have issues, especially when it comes to my junk food days.

A good rule of thumb is to fill your plate using your fist as a measurement. Ideally, your meal should be a fist sized portion of carbs (wholemeal of course), protein and vegetables. That should be enough to fill you up. If you want to go a step further, use a smaller plate. Even though you'll have three fist sized portions of food on there, in your head you'll think it's more because the plate is smaller.
