Have a small bowl/plate for high caloric food
Maybe you have a decadent item as part of your meal. Maybe it’s mac ‘n cheese, mashed potatoes, cream of corn, or something like that. Give that its own dish. Make it a small one. Maybe you have small bowls, and you put your mashed potatoes in the small bowl, and set it to the side of your healthier items. This signals to your subconscious that that is a special item. It’s not one of the other items you may grab more of, like the salad or grilled chicken. It’s a treat, so it gets its own special bowl, but as a treat, it’s also not something you’re going to get seconds of.
