The key, I think, to my weight loss is portion control. Ever since I started using myfitnesspal I've really been paying attention to how much I am eating. It amazes me how misleading packages can be! For instance, on a jar of peanut butter it says there are 120 calories, but that is in only for 2 tbsp! When is the last time you measured how much peanut butter you put on a sandwich? When is the last time you only had 2 tbsp on a sandwich? It gets even worse with things like cookies and chips. Not to mention restaurants! The normal amount of food you get at a restaurant is actually enough for 2 people! 2 PEOPLE!! So, I have started asking for a to go box as soon as I place my order. I get weird looks but I only eat enough food for one person. If I have learned anything in the past few months about weight loss it is this, I must control now necessarily what I eat but how much I eat. Portion is important.
