Portion Control Plates

  • I was trying to look for an "Intuitive Eater" thread, because these would probably go hand-in-hand with them....or also if anyone is on the Food Lovers Diet.

    I bought these awhile ago -- like Nov or Dec and I just got them today (they were back ordered)

    I'm a Cal Counter, myself, but think they're cute and also a very good visual on those days when you don't know how many calories something is...at least with these you won't over indulge.
  • That's kinda' cool! What portion goes where? I mean, is one for veggie, one for meat and one for starch, or how does it go on the plate?
  • Yes, the largest space is for veggies, the medium is for carbs and the smallest is for your protein.
  • It says "carb -- side dish" on the medium flower

    Sorry...horrible pictures.
  • I saw this ad on the TV a few days ago...how do you like it so far?
  • I'm just using them as regular plates so far.

    When I had ordered these, I had just bought the Food Lovers diet and thought these would go hand-in-hand. However, now I'm just a normal calorie counter...but I still love the design of the plates

    I figure, one day when I'm in maintenance, I'll utilize them more and learn potion control.
  • That a very cool idea! I, unfortunately, would just pile my food UP in stead of out LOL!
  • These are a great idea! I've used the old trick of using a smaller plate when I'm eating, but these take it a step further. I'm a calorie-counter, too; these would be great to help with portion control when maintaining. I could even make my own. Hm...food for thought.
