Don't be fooled by snack-size treats
If you can't stop after eating one mini portion of chips or cookies, separate them so you have a treat in your car, office desk and gym bag.
In a 2008 study, 59 students were given either nine small (45-g) bags of potato chips or two large (200-g) bags to eat while watching TV. Participants who were encouraged to think about calories were almost twice as likely to eat chips from the small bags and, if they did, to eat twice as much as those munching from the big bags.The research indicates people were more likely to eat more than they should because the small packages didn't seem to count.
