This is an age old question that nutritionists have discussed for years. This to me is a matter of which is easier. Alot of people like to know how many calories they injest each day. For lazier people like me I like to stick to controlling portion size and dividing my plate into sections.
Calorie counters know they must injest a certain amount of calories each day. When you live by portion sizes you learn that protein is the size of a deck of cards,pasta or rice is the size of a softball, and veggies on the plate take up the largest amount of room.
Protien means anything with a face that either runs or swims. If you are a vegatarian it means any type of beans, lowfat cheese, or soy products.
This question does not have a right or wrong answer. Calories or portion size the choice is yours.
On another topic I cant stress enough how important it is to stay hydrated during the day. especially first thing in the morning. Your body needs water after going all night without it. a good idea is to drink a large glass when you first get up and make sure you drink a least 8 glasses a day. This is very important for people trying to loose weight. Numerous times people think they are hungrey but actually their bodies are screaming to be hydrated.
