Contrary to what you might think, portion control does not require taking drastic measures. Memorizing a complete inventory of food serving sizes or carrying measuring cups with you to meals just isn’t necessary.

Often the “portion” you eat contains more than one “serving.” Keep that in mind while cooking and making food selections.
