Use Smaller Plates for Unhealthy Foods

Nowadays, the average meal plate is bigger than it was a few decades ago. Due to the fact that using a smaller plate may encourage you to eat less by making servings look bigger, this trend may result in weight gain. In contrast, a larger plate may make a portion appear smaller, encouraging you to eat more.

Regardless of plate size, people typically fill their plates to about 70% of the way full, according to one study. 52% more food will be served if you use a 10-inch plate as opposed to an 8-inch plate as a result. And you're more likely to eat more when you have more food on your plate. Serve healthier foods on larger plates and less nutritious foods on smaller dishes to take advantage of this.
