Portion control is a great way to maintain a healthy diet and essential when you’re on a diet. We all understand the term per se, but do we know what a portion of a food is? If you’re like me, probably not. Most of us probably rely on reasonableness and guess work. You can take the guesswork out with the help of some useful gadgets.
1 Portion Control Pasta Basket
I am so in love with this. I never get the amount of pasta right. It’s either too much or not enough. This fabulous little basket holds one perfect portion and hangs over the side of the saucepan so when the pasta is cooked you just lift out to drain. There’s also a handy spaghetti measure built into the handle.
Available in stemmed or stemless options, you now have an added incentive to control your alcohol intake (unless you like to hit the “who cares?” mark). This glass is by Calroie Cuvee and the delicate print is etched so it’s to never wear off!
How brilliant would it be to be able to portion control your entire meal with one handy gadget? That’s exactly what this nifty tool does. There are marked cavities for vegetable/fruit, starch and protein. You measure directly on the plate (no transferring between plates and multiple gadgets) and it fits most dinner plates.
The previous product was great for at home eating but what about when packing for lunch or going out? Then you need the Precise Portions Go Healthy Nutrition & Portion Control Travel Pack. The container is perfect for work, school or travel. It’s made from microwave-safe plastic and has an easy-sealing lid. Divided into 3 sections for precise portion control.
5 Jokari Healthy Steps Portion Control Dressing Cruet
Just how much is the right amount of dressing? Take the guesswork out of it with this clever cruet. It delivers a precise single serving of 2 tablespoons every time. And it’s all nicely mixed thanks to the in-built emulsifier. Made from flexible PET and BPA free, there are even recipes embossed on the bottle.
6 Jokari Healthy Steps Portion Control Diet / Weight Loss 10pc Utensil Kitchen Tool Set
Want all the portion control gadgets and tools you need in one handy set? If you’re impressed by the portion control dressing cruet you just saw, you’ll love this. This impressive 10 piece set includes Vegetable Spoon, Starch Spoon, Protein Spatula, Serving Ladle, Pasta Basket, Dressing Lid, Cereal Scoop, Cheese Grater, Nut Bowl & Cookie Pro
This is very visual, isn’t it? It makes it easy for you dish up a meal that is balanced – ¼ protein, ¼ healthy carbohydrates and ½ vegetables. If you don’t mind eating off dishwasher friendly melamine, this could be the portion control aid you need.
At parties and gatherings you head for the dip plate because you know there’s crudités you can eat to your heart’s content, right? Except the dip is too yummy and you scoop up too much in every bite. Make that a thing of the past with the dip clip. This ingenious little scoop clips onto the side of your plate. Fill it with dip to control your intake but eat as many raw veggies as you like.
Superstar I don't agree that u must eat smaller portions just eat healthier foods.
sharon @Fatima. I was going to say exactly the same thing as you and agree with what you're saying. Why waste money on these gadgets when you just need to cut down the portion sizes. Mary and eat in moderation. It's hard work but you can do it.
Nina1920 Love them all!!! Great post I was looking for something that could keep me on track. Thank you!!
Rash I absolutely love this post! Great post as always @Neecey, I just love all of this adorable items. I am seriously contemplating of buying all of this! Haha
Fatima I don't agree with that. Just reduce your meals and eat small portions. You don't need those rip off stuff. You spend like more then 200 $ just to buy those plates and bowls and still not sure that will you control on your diet . Because the people who can control on their diet they don't need that. And the people who can't control their diet I believe they will end up filling two three times those portions . Lol I don't want to be offensive. But girls trust me you don't need to spend money on those stuff.
Thelma62913 This is probably one of my favorite posts of all!!! I cannot wait to order some, or should I say, most of these! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Tasnim @Lisa Marie... Great tip Lisa Thanks!! I'm going to get one :)
Lisa You can buy a baby plate with the three servings at the dollar store. It is the same as the portion control on the go plate and you will save a lot of money buying at the dollar store.
