Even More about Portion Control
Posted on March 18th, 2010 by Personal Trainer David Hansey
Portion control is a key way to reduce the amount of calories that you consume. Try using a smaller plate. Never order a large unless you are sharing. A study at Penn State found that women who ate an 8-inch sub sandwich felt just as full as women who ate a 12-inch sub sandwich. Yet, the women who ate the larger sandwich ate an average of 74 more calories. Doesn’t sound like too much, but 74 extra calories per day is 8 pounds per year!
