portion-control
Limiting food amounts
Portion-control describes food packaging, dishware, or eating strategies designed to limit serving sizes: portion-control containers, portion-control snack packs.
The concept comes from weight management, where controlling how much you eat matters as much as what you eat.
As a verb, to portion-control is to divide food into measured amounts: I portion-control my meals for the week.
