Working on satiety can help with portion control. Find foods lower in calories that help you feel fuller longer and use them as "filler" particularly vegetables as fibre tends to be be quite filling. Experimenting with different ratios of Protein/Fat/Carbs can help too - once you have at least the recommended daily amount for Protein & Fat you should pick a ratio that suits you for the remaining calories.
I tend to prefer higher protein and moderate fat/carbs. Others find higher fat/lower carbs more beneficial.0 -
I started at 240. First week down 7.5. Starting my second week and portion control is definately part of the solution. f you fill your plate as usual and then calculate the calories, it is an eye opener for sure.
