Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm trying to eat healthier, but I'm not sure how to control my portions.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Portion control is a great place to start. A good rule of thumb is to use a 9-inch plate and fill half of it with vegetables, a quarter with protein, and a quarter with whole grains.<|im_end|>

That sounds like a good idea. What are some healthy snack options that won't fill me up too much?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Fresh fruits, carrot sticks with hummus, and a handful of nuts are all nutritious and filling snack options that won't overdo it on the calories.<|im_end|>
