We often eat more than we think. However, these small daily excesses make the big kilos at the end of the year. When we know that only 90 calories (= 1 apple or 1 yogurt) more per day result in 5 extra pounds at the end of the year, portion control is the basis. But how to do it ? To eat at home, either you have the eye or you buy ready-made portions. Either you weigh everything once and for all, for a week, and you will thus visualize what a steak of 120 g or 100 g of potatoes represents. Either you use free applications on your Smartphone to view the dishes and better understand the size of what you swallow in relation to the recommended size. Either you use this effective and simple measuring tool: your hand.
