Get the Most Nutrition from Your Calories
One of the biggest nutrition problem for most Americans is posed by high-fat, high-sugar foods and drinks, such as snack foods, candies and soft drinks. Eating smarter does not mean you have to immediately go sugar-free and fat-free.
You can make a big difference in your calorie intake by just eating and drinking smaller portions and by making empty calorie choices less often.
The key is to moderate, not eliminate. Watching portion sizes is an easy way to cut back without cutting out. If you want to consume less sugar, limit your soft drink intake to one can a day and switch to sparkling water the rest of the time.

Portion control is one of the main issues that I struggle with. I eat good food, but I still eat a lot of it.
