Sometimes I get carried away and overeat at breakfast, particularly if it’s very tasty. What do you do to help with portion control?

To help with portion control at breakfast, try using smaller plates to visually manage your servings. Focus on mindful eating by savoring each bite and paying attention to your hunger cues. Pre-portion your meals or prepare a balanced plate with a mix of protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep you satisfied. Creating a morning ritual can also help establish a routine that reinforces healthy habits. Remember, a great breakfast should nourish you without leading to overeating.

Incorporate a protein shake or a smoothie (preferably with protein in it). It will help you feel full and start you with the right fuel to stay satisfied the rest of the day. Drink the beverage first and then begin your approach to solid breakfast food. They say not to grocery shop on an empty stomach; approaching your first meal of the day can be thought of in the same way. Cut your initial hunger with the shake, then you’ll have enough energy to think clearly about what you need to eat to give you what else you’ll need for the day.
