cutting food into smaller pieces makes it last longer (i also use chopsticks to eat whenever possible)
it's more satisfying to eat multiple different things for the same calories as one (i.e eating strawberries, blueberries, and plums together vs. one whole avocado)
when cooking, use very little butter/ butter substitute (i use butter flavored cooking spray whenever possible)
this should go without saying, but drinking water before, during, and after any meal
always remember, every calorie counts
