Portion Control Plate from Meal Measure

My husband has been struggling to  lose the pounds he have gained over the years after   retiring from the Navy.  He used to worked out almost everyday when he was still in the service but when he retired, it got less and less  because he loves playing with kids and spending  time with us.  As a result, he gained  some weight.  He  is very active in working out now but he is getting frustrated as he  is not getting the result that he wants.  We said that we might change  the  kind of foods that he eats and also  watch out the portion of  every serving of the foods that we have  for every meal.

I am glad that Meal Measure  sent me this Portion Control Plate.  This would help us determine if  the food serving  is what i-s causing to sabotage my husband's weight or not.  I am now using this a lot to measure how much  he can eat with certain foods.

There are 4 portion control areas. 2 for fruits or veggies, 1 for starches, and one for protein.  There is a line  in the middle which represent half a cup.  This is very easy to use as it measures the food right on your plate.  It fits most dinner plates and it is top rack dishwasher safe.

So you see, before having this portion control plate, my husband eats a good size especially if he likes the food that I cook but with this tool, I can control his servings.  Thank you so much Meal Measure for this.

  4. I could totally use one of these! I use a smaller plate to eat from but then I end up getting seconds anyway. I know that we overeat way too much in our house and that is definitely the cause of us needing to lose some pounds. Thanks for the info!

  8. That looks like a really easy way to measure food! My husband and I recently decided to count calories for a week as an experiment, and stuffing everything into measuring cups sure wasn't any fun! lol

  9. My Hubs could use this for sure. He usually ends up with more carbs than he wants to be eating. This would just be a friendly reminder to cut down the carbs.

  18. OMG! I wonder how your husband is faring with his food portion controlled. Ok ba siya? Husband can't do portion control but because he embraced the kind of food that I peat and prepare, he is trim. He goes to the gym twice a week lang 5 hours each.
