For portion control, look to the container

Oh I agree.

But I also think it is a marketing ploy to use wacky product sizes with convoluted portion descriptions. If I am on a diet and want one serving of ABC but they only sell 1.795 serving sized packets, the temptation to eat/drink the entire thing is there. And in some cases, the extra product is not saveable after you eat your 1 serving portion. So you feel guilty for wasting it and eat/drink it anyway. (My mama taught me to eat everything on my plate, a very hard habit to break).

It's as much a marketing ploy as putting snacks by the checkout and impulse items on the end of the isle. Sneaky!

I have learned to stop eating before I'm full, to eat only when I'm really hungry (as opposed to bored), and to carefully consider the portion sizes I intake. I just avoid fast food altogether, they have nothing good for me there Yes, what and how much I eat is my choice, but the manner in which many products are marketed don't always make it easy.
