There is no doubt about it. If you eat straight out of the bag you are going to eat more than a serving. Keeping your portions in check will help you lose a few pounds without ever feeling like you are on a diet.
Eyeballing your eats is a lot like a guessing game so keep yourself in line and prevent overeating with these products made specifically for portion control.

3. Portion Control Dressing Lid from Jokari
We love this dressing dispenser because it helps us from overdressing our greens which is where the salad calories can easily add up. Simply screw the lid into a store-bought plastic bottle of salad dressing and squeeze! The lid dispenses one serving of salad dressing (2 tablespoons) at a time. ($7)

I love the portion control dressing lid!
The only “portion control” thing I have in my house is a food scale… But I only use it for animal protein.
