I am a HUGE snacker and I find that if I buy pre-packaged snacks (bad for the environment, I know) instead of a whole box I can watch my portions better. I buy the kids lunch servings of Cheez-its instead of a box...I feel ok having a small bag rather than eating a handful out of the box! :)

I'LL BUY A LARGE BAG OF SNACKS AND WHEN I GET HOME I DIVIDE THEM INTO INDIVIDUAL SERVING SIZES IN SMALL BAGGIES WHICH REALLY WORKS OUT FOR ME.

I also buy the big bag and the snack ziplock bags and portion them out using my food scale.

I agree absolutely. I can eat the contents of one individual package - or the contents of a whole box!

I've gotten pretty good at figuring out what a "snack" portion is from an entire package/box/bag etc. I may not stick to it, but at least I can gauge how many "snack" portions I've had.
