With these tips you can serve up just enough during the next meal.

1. Know what you need
What nutrients do you need in a day? That depends, among other things, on how big and how active you are. Take the time to look into which nutrients you need, so that you can make better decisions about your food and portion sizes in the future.

2. Measure and weigh your food
Stop cooking on the gamble, but measure and weigh the products from now on. This way you ensure that you stick to the recommended portions.

3. Cook just enough
Do you have trouble stopping eating? Make sure you cook just enough so that you don't have to resist the temptation for more.

4. Freeze leftovers
Make use of what you've overcooked. Freeze the leftovers or put them in a container for tomorrow's lunch.

5. Use a smaller board

6. Eat consciously
Don't mindlessly stuff your meal. Always eat at the table and be aware of the taste and structure of every bite.
