Eat from plates and bowls, not from packages

If you’re planning on a snack, be sure to remove the quantity you plan to eat (preferably 1 serving) and put it on a plate or in a bowl.  If you eat ice cream from the container, chips from a bag or crackers out of the box, you are more likely to eat  larger quantities. Remember a few hundred “mindless” calories here and there can leave you 10 or more pounds heavier by the end of the year.
