Portion Control
Eating the right serving sizes for your body needs — a practical habit for lifelong weight management.
Patient-Friendly Explanation
Portion control means eating the right amount of food for your body needs, not too much or too little. Using smaller plates, measuring servings, and paying attention to hunger signals can help. It is a practical, lifelong habit for maintaining a healthy weight.
Clinical Definition
Portion control is a dietary strategy focused on moderating energy intake by managing serving sizes without necessarily restricting food types. It addresses the phenomenon of portion distortion, where typical serving sizes have increased significantly over recent decades, contributing to the obesity epidemic.
