Actually plate it
This one may seem intuitive, but it’s not for everyone. Busy individuals may just hover around the kitchen island, eating directly out of cartons, containers, and shared dishes with loved ones. But it’s very hard to assess how much you’ve eaten if you don’t actually plate your food. So do make a proper plate. Put exactly the amount you will eat, in its entirety, for that meal, on the plate. That helps you really see how much you’re consuming. If you do all sit down at a dining table, leave the serving platters in the kitchen. Putting them on the dining table, family-style makes it too easy to impulsively put more on your plate.
