Pre-Portion Snacks into Bags to Stop Overeating

The Problem

You buy a family-size bag of chips or trail mix. You 'just have a handful' and eat half the bag.

The Hack

When you get home from the store, immediately portion bulk snacks into individual snack-sized bags or containers. One serving per bag. Put the bulk bag away.

Why It Works

Individual portions remove the 'just one more handful' trap. When the bag is empty, the snack is done. No willpower required — the portion decision was made in advance.

Pro Tips

• Reusable silicone bags are more eco-friendly than zip-locks
• Portioned bags are also grab-and-go for lunches and car rides
• Buying bulk + portioning is 40-60% cheaper than buying individual packs
• A kitchen scale helps with accuracy — most serving sizes are by weight
