Portion control. A concept we all have to master if we are going to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have always been an advocate of measuring portions so that you can be aware of how your body reacts to certain foods. Nutrient timing is key to balancing your hormones, maintaining lean muscle mass and loss of body fat. I hear from my clients time and again that finding a good FAST breakfast option is a hurdle. We are all preparing multiple breakfasts for our spouses and children, we are planning the day, and most women either skip breakfast all together or opt for a grab and go piece of fruit. This is why I love the Measure Up Bowl. I pour in my dry oats to the 1/2 cup mark fill with hot water just to completely moisten the oats…then place a plate on top of the bowl for them to “cook” while I get the kids fed. I prefer my oats to have a firm texture and this works terrifically. Next I add a scoop of protein powder, a sprinkle of cinnamon and top it off with some dark berries. I must admit, many mornings I might eat right from my Measure Up Bowl in the carpool line. But at least I know I have perfect portions of carbs and protein and I’m ready for my workout!

The Classic Measure Up Bowl is great for measuring cereals, fruits, soups, pastas, rice, salads…Anything you eat of of a bowl. This bowl features 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 and 2 cups premeasured portions on the interior of the bow. It is microwave/dishwasher safe and neutral in color, fitting with most any dish set. A great product making my life just a little bit easier!
