Portion Control Plate
The benefits of using a portion control plate are numerous. Firstly, it helps you gain control over how much you eat by providing clear guidelines for portion sizes. This can prevent overindulgence and mindless snacking, which often leads to weight gain. Secondly, it promotes a balanced meal pattern by helping you incorporate a variety of food groups into your meals. Thirdly, it raises awareness about portion sizes and serving recommendations, educating you about healthy eating habits you can adopt even when not using the plate.
Our portion control plate is made of a durable, easy-to-clean plastic and is conveniently portable, allowing you to use it at home, at work, or even when dining out. By incorporating a portion control plate into your daily routine, you can take a significant step towards achieving a healthier lifestyle and reaching your nutritional goals.
Snack and Salad Jar
Snack and salad jars are an incredibly easy and convenient method of incorporating more nutritious meals into your day. They are portable and a handy method of portion control, making them an excellent and easy option for busy individuals who are always on the go.

Creating a salad with this jar is super easy. Simply add your favorite salad ingredients, like vegetables (such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots), lean proteins (such as grilled chicken or tofu), and healthy fats (such as avocados or nuts).
