I got one on Amazon when I first started. It really helped looking at it until I was good at portioning.
The plate I used is called The Adult Portion Plate. I'm on app so can't post link.1 -

The most accurate way to track calories is to weigh all your food using a food scale.10 -
yep, the food scale is the best portion control device5

I just use a small plate and weigh/measure my food. I only use a full size dinner plate on Thanksgiving.2

Before I had a food scale I found smaller plates somewhat helpful. But getting a food scale was really a game changer.
I had been using measuring cups and those were just stressful - how tightly are you supposed to pack them? There is no ambiguity with food scales. Plus, you don't have to wash cups!2 -
Yes, there's no guessing game with a scale. You can use different tricks and measuring cups, but scale is a real eye opener. Great and cheap gadget. Well worth having around.3

I agree with everyone about the food scale being the crucial tool for weight loss.
That said, the food portion plate gives you a visual of how those foods you're weighing should look on the plate.3 -
I use the portion control containers from Beach Body[img]They are on Amazon also. https://us.v-cdn.net/5021879/uploads/editor/5p/c3d1opzunvna.jpg[/img]
