While counting calories is the cornerstone of your diet, it does you no good if you are not keeping the serving size in mind. After all, while you may think that a chocolate bar has only 150 calories, the Nutritional Facts label may only be measuring a serving size that’s less than an ounce.

A lot of the food you find at the store will be measured by the slice, by the square, or by some other arbitrary measurement. Foods like bread, sliced deli meat, cheese, and candy are some of the most popular foods that are measured in this way.

For most foods, however, the best way to make sure that you stick with the serving size guidelines is to go to the store and buy a measuring cup. Pour every food you are going to eat in the measuring cup before you take your first bite, and only eat as much as the serving size recommends. You can do this with dried foods like rice or cereal as well as liquids like soda, syrup, jelly, or iced tea.

If you find that the serving size on many of your foods is too small to be measured with a measuring cup, use a teaspoon or tablespoon. Remember that there are three teaspoons to every tablespoon.

The tricky part comes when you eat foods that are measured by weight. For these foods you may need to purchase a kitchen scale so that you may weigh your foods before eating them. Alternatively, there are charts and graphs available online that can convert many of these serving sizes into a more easily used alternative, such as cups or slices.

Simply taking the time to measure your portions before you eat will quickly help you lose weight and make it easier to total your caloric intake.
