It’s day 4 of the new year!  How are you doing on your resolutions?  You know a lot of people decide at the beginning of each year they will eat healthier.  Of course, I think this is a great decision for your health and happiness, but so often people give up or fail.  There are a few things that can go wrong in a diet plan that involves trying to eat healthier.  Some of the bad things that can pull you off your track are the cravings and urges and lack of portion control.  

Not only is portion control and important part of a diet, but it can also help you to understand the exact amount you are consuming as far as calories, sugars, fats and more are concerned.

Let’s be honest though, no one ever really taught us how to properly measure out our food, did they?  If someone did teach you, then you are not only lucky but also pretty good amount watching what you eat.  For those of us who were not taught, watching the amounts of what we eat and knowing how much is enough, too much, or too little can be difficult.

The chart below is a good reminder of portion sizes and how much you should be putting on your plate when you eat.  Take a look, and hopefully this will help you stick to your heatlhy eating gaols.
