portion control
Limiting food amounts
Portion control is the practice of limiting how much food you eat at one time, typically for weight management or health reasons.
The term appears in diet advice and nutrition contexts: The key to losing weight isn't giving up carbs—it's portion control.
Restaurants and food manufacturers also use it to describe pre-measured servings.
