Bento Boxes offer instant portion control
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
Here's an ingenious suggestion from Working On My Fitness -- use Bento Boxes for portion control. Bento boxes -- those cute Japanese eating 'plates' that have little compartments for each part of your meal -- would be ideal if you're trying to follow the food pyramid. Put your veggies in the largest compartment, your grains in the second largest and your protein in the smallest. There might even be room for a small (healthy) dessert.
What's great about this idea is that you can't just heap your plate full of food like you can with regular plates. And your meal doesn't have to Japanese to use the Bento box, but it can't hurt since Japanese food is one of the healthiest cuisines out there.
So what would go in your Bento box?
