The simplest habits are often the ones we keep (humanity defaults to easy on average, which is mostly unfortunate) and this is perhaps the simplest diet habit you can adopt:
Double your portions.
Nope, you don’t have to eat double the portions, just make double the portions. For example, the next time you feel like eating a couple of boiled eggs, double the portion size by boiling four eggs, and then store the latter two in the fridge. This is great for a few reasons:
- As discussed previously having more food prepared often leads to eating more. Even though you may not plan to eat all four eggs straight awaythere’s a likely chance you’ll eat at least 3 of them in the same meal if they’re all ready to go.
- You can have a bit of extra food nearby after you’ve initially eaten and, keeping in mind the truth of why skinny guys don’t eat enough food, this will lead you to eating more.
- There’s no need to prepare the next meal. This essentially cuts the food preparation time in half.
So yeah: double your portion size to eat more food.
