Are you eating healthy meals and exercising and at the end of the day you still put on those few extra pounds. If you answered yes, then the solution to your problem may be portion control.

What this means is that you have to learn to better manage the amount of food you consume daily. The truth is your daily calorie intake equals your weight.

Many people define the word serving as the amount of food they can fit on their plate. That is untrue and it is a big no-no. In fact, a serving is an actual amount usually defined by common measurements.

Some of the measurements you might find on the food label include cups, ounces, and pieces. Understanding and following these measurements is important when it comes down to weight loss.
