portion size Options

[brooklyneast05]

do you think portion size reducing is a good way to fix some of our health issues? do you think it would have a big impact on how people eat? are you more likely to just eat/drink more than one of something if the portion is smaller? tell me how you feel about portion size.

for me reducing portion size would work. if something is smaller, i just eat less. like with these smaller cokes. i don't feel compelled to drink two of them, i just drink less in general because less is there.



cool topic i know. don't hate, going through my tumblr and thinking of shit to make topics about.

They do the same at Starbucks where if you take your own thermos to put your drink in, they take off 30¢ or something and same with Marie Calendars that if you take in the tin thing for the pie, you get 50¢ off.


ANYWAYS

I think portion size is important. Sure there are people who will just eat another serving but then there are people who will just stop at one and obey the portion size. Portions and how often you eat are probably the most important things when it comes to healthy eating and watching your weight. We're suppose to eat 6 small meals but the majority of people eat 3 big ones. And with smaller portions, it's easier to stick to 6 small meals versus the 3 big ones. Some might say they feel restricted to what they're eating but they can think about it this way: if you have smaller portions of things, you'll be able to eat more of other things. Let me explain. Let's say you have... chicken and mashed potatoes for a meal. And you fill up the entire plate with just those two items. If you were to have smaller portions of those two things, you could make room for some salad or veggies because they do say half of our plate should consist of veggies. Also you'd be getting more of your daily vitamins and nutrition for the day.
