"I eat too much."
Look at the serving sizes on packaged foods before you start eating.
Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are full of fiber which helps you to feel full and satisfied. Eat more fiber by making a few easy swaps:
whole grain pasta instead of white pasta
brown rice instead of white rice
beans instead of meat (even just a few times a week)
oatmeal or whole grain cereal instead of bagels or baked goods
snack on nuts or use them as salad toppers instead of croutons
Use smaller plates and cups. Your portion will appear larger than it is.
Avoid eating straight from the bag. Pour a serving into a bowl.
Avoid eating in front of the TV – it's been shown to make people eat more!

Pack a healthy snack for a day you know you will be away from home.
