Use clear bins for washed vegetables, lean proteins, Greek yogurt, berries, leftovers, and quick snacks. Keep the most supportive foods at eye level so they are easier to choose.

What kitchen tools help with portion control?

Helpful kitchen tools include measuring cups, measuring spoons, reusable containers, divided plates, labels, and a food scale if you use one.
