calories? Use smaller plate, bowl, and glass Stop eating when you are satisfied, not
full. Cook more often at home, where you
are in control of what’s in your food When eating out, choose lower calorie
menu optionsChoose dishes that include veggies, fruits,
and/or whole grainsOrder a smaller portion or share when
eating out
