Consider using a smaller plate. I use a salad plate vs a dinner plate.

Portion size was never a problem for me. It was that second portion size that caused all the problems. Rocker has a legit comment there. The brain still thinks of the smaller plate as a plate filled with food. They've done studies and it does help. Don't go back for the seconds.

Consider fewer but larger meals. Lots of folks respond to volume. Things like peanut butter have a lot of calories for a small hit. Consider something like strawberries or grapes where 150 calories goes a very long way. I find something like 600 calories for lunch, 800 calories for dinner, and a couple 150-200 calorie snacks an easy way to get my 1800 dieting calories. You can always adjust for how many calories you need. Find some nutritious foods that you truly enjoy (not something you feel like you have to choke down) that can satisfy the need to have a "big" portion. As I mentioned - I buy a ton of whatever berries are on sale and that goes a long way. Goes good when I'm watching tv and snacking!
