A small plate can be just right. It helps you see your food clearly. A portion means the food you choose to eat. Big portions can make people eat more. (nesr.usda.gov) A small plate may help you choose less food. (cdc.gov) Still hungry? You can add a little more.
For example, think about an afternoon snack. Do not eat cookies from the bag. Put some cookies and fruit on a small plate. Sit down and enjoy each bite. The snack looks nice and feels complete. Eat slowly. Stop when you feel full. A small plate can be enough.
