It struck me how I blindly followed the instructions on the pack when making up some porridge. I then found it difficult to eat the whole bowlful. I've now adjusted the quantities, taking control, and saved myself a few calories, and a few pence too.
45g of porridge oats has now become 35g, and this is the perfect portion for me. A saving of almost 20% of the calories is a bonus, and I no longer find the last few spoonfuls difficult to eat.
These small adjustments to your diet will pay dividends in the end. It's easy to follow the manufacturers recommendations, but we all have different needs. In fact you may find 45g of porridge doesn't fill you up, so change it. The point of eating breakfast is to feel satisfied enough which then helps eliminate the need for snacks later.
