Yesterday we talked about the importance of portion control cause at the end of the day it really is about calories in and calories out.
I wanna show you some of my favorite done-for-you portion control snacks cause I’m sure you’ll agree that some things are harder to “control” than others (mmmmmm……peanut butter).
With these things you can snack and stay right on track with your portions or indulge in some treats without guilt.
Keep yourself honest, you know that your 2Tbsp of peanut butter is really like 3 with what you lick off the spoon and the nice rounded mound you scoop when serving. With this, there is no cheating and you can take it with you anywhere.
Low-fat cheese does have a place in your eating plan but it is still a relatively high calorie food so you need to make sure that you watch your portions. These are handy and keep you in check.
I LOVE Greek yogurt! My fridge is constantly stocked with these but this one is more about convenience than portion control. When you are in a rush or not in the mood to “make” anything, you can grab one of these cups and have a protein packed snack.
100 calorie popcorn (the ONLY 100 calorie pre-packed snack I ever recommend) is a great snack and these small bags are the perfect alternative to the large bags that contain 2.5-3.5 servings per bag.
Ok now, you know me, there’s gotta be a dessert in here. The single serving Skinny Cow ice cream is about indulging
with set-in limits. While it’s not conducive to your weight loss efforts to have one of these every day it’s great when you just want a little something as a treat. And I posted Skinny Cow here but really, any of the single serving ice creams are ok for the occasional indulgence.
So that’s what’s in my kitchen at all times. I know there are tons more things that are portioned out. Share them with me in the comments section below. I’d love to see what else there is to help me and all of you out.
Remember, portion control is one of the quickest ways to get into your skinny jeans. And the chance to win cool prizes is nice too. Skinny Jeans Transformation Challenge is coming…….
