A parody of the sometimes confusing subject of portion control… 

Hey! Could you make a recipe for some single-serving baking? It´s easier to resist eating too much when i have only one cupcake etc. instead of 12, ha :--D Love ur blog, gets me sooo hungry ! :D

Hi! That’s a good idea :) Or you can divide the quantities by 4 :)  

I have 3 strategies to stick to portion sizes when I bake something:

#1 I take what I need and hide the rest immediately deep down out of sight in the freezer. It’s always very convenient to pack a frozen snack in my bag before going to work. It keeps the other things that I packed for lunch fresh and it’s defrosted by the time I need a snack. 

#2 Share with others: as I live with my boyfriend I always make sure he eats more than me :) When we share something like a wholegrain pizza I try to take only one third and leave him two thirds. Women shouldn’t share food equally (50/50) when they’re eating with a guy. Guys need a daily average of 500 to 1,000 extra calories. 

#3 This one is not really a strategy: I simply don’t stick to normal portion size and I’ll have 3 cookies instead of 1, because I know what are the ingredients I used in my recipe and how much sugar I’m getting. Most of the things I make are protein-rich and make me feel full quickly. My “healthy treats” don’t taste exactly like regular, sweet, full-fat desserts, but the biggest advantage of baking low-sugar high-protein desserts is that I can have bigger portions :)
