PORTION SIZE HELP

I have occasionally had trouble with portioning out my food (especially to go) in a manner that gives me the appropriate amount, is economical and isn't in a container that makes me feel like I'm only using a small portion of it.

I've also found it hard when making casseroles (especially layered ones) - trying to scoop out a portion without feeling like each serving is not equally distributed.

I thought I would share something that has helped me through this.

There is a website:

plasticcontainercity.com

They have both 4 & 7 oz. ovenable (up to 450 deg.) & disposable containers with a plastic lid.

They also have disposable plastic containers with lids (non-ovenable - they call them portion cups) in every 1 oz. increments from 1 oz to 6 oz.

They're great for Entrees, sides and Snacks. They are very reasonably priced and you don't have to buy a case - you just have to spend $25.

Hope this helps if you've had similar difficulties.

I did have that problem as well. I use a 4 oz. Tupperware container and a 1 cup Tupperware container. I now eat all my meals out of these. When I would use a plate or even my 5 yr olds plates, I would over fill and eat too much and get sick. Using these smaller containers helps out alot.
