BODi 21 Day Fix Portion Control Containers-7-Piece Containers for Meal Prep

Perfect size for portion control. I love that the colors are cordinated, which make them easy to use. They are sturdy and easy to clean.

I had a diabetic nutrition coach who taught me how to eyeball portions many years ago but I got way out of the habit of that as the years went. She showed me that it's okay to have the various food groups but it's just about how much we eat of them. These little portion control cups just arrived today and they've already been helping me. What would have been dinner eating cottage cheese and veggies while family enjoyed Chicken Alfredo, tonight ended up being a sensible portion of the carby pasta dish (the yellow carb container,) but paired with a little extra cooked chicken in the protein container, veggies measured out, and even a little portion of low sugar peaches. I put it all on a little plate and it looked colorful and delicious. Taste, variety, nutrition and no deprivation. I can do this!

Perfect portions is what I was looking for. I am doing max 30 and measuring food in measuring cups is time consuming, with these if it fits you have it right. There is no meal plan with this item you are buyin!!!. max 30 included this idea of containers in there meal program but did not come with them. You would be amazed at the difference of portioning made easy vs measuring every type of food. Yes these are on the spendy side but its around 60 if you buy the workout and meal planning on beachbody website , For the 21 day fix they come with the containers They are Color coded to help. Veggie= green, fruit=purple, proteins=red, good carbs = yellow, healthy fats= blue, orange=seeds and dressings. Can not get any easier. You never really knew how much food you were over eating until you get this system. Max 30 says you should eat (if over 150lbs) 4 veggies, 3 fruits, 4 proteins, 3carbs, 1 healthy fat, 1 seed/dressing and 4 tsp of nut butters or oils. They use the container as measurement to equel 1 unit. So four green container of veggies per day. If under 150lbs decrease veggie fruit carb and protien by one. They say you should eat up to five times per day and spread out your recommended amounts as you see fit. Really hope this helps. I know reviews are bad sometimes but I think this system makes so much sense and made meal prep easier hopefully eventually I can see the amount of any food and be able to say "thats the perfect portion"

Perfect size for measuring food when trying to reduce food intake

I am not a fan of plastic containers, and would not eat directly out of these, but they are great to quickly use for portion control. I started using them last night. When I took them out of the incredibly small box they were shipped in, I asked myself what I had gotten into, because they looked SO small. However, when I made dinner, I was surprised that what I ate in my allotted containers stuffed me! I didn't feel jipped at all. Overall they were a good buy. I do wish each container was labeled for the type of food it should hold. I wound up writing on mine with Sharpie - the type of food and the number I can have per day.

I love this diet. Better than any diet I have ever been on. These cups really do the trick for me. I have always had trouble with calculating portion sizes. If I don't get it exactly right that's when I seem to run into difficulty. with these cups. I have no problem. I find that I am NOT hungry. In fact the opposite to much food to consume in a day. I think that is really interesting because when I first opened the package I though they were so small and I would starve to death. But quite the opposite. Autumn has a wonderful book with a small but very healthy list of foods to eat. When I say small that's in comparison to Nutri System or Jenny Craig's food list. Her choices work together like Nutri System or Jenny Craig. They are all foods I like to eat. I am able to combine them for maximizing my weight loss. I find that I have no cravings and I feel fuller longer. I don't even miss eating. It's like all diets you have to follow them in order to get the maximum results. What I like about this one. I am able to shop in the grocery store. I can use my coupons to SAVE MONEY. I am basically buying fresh vegetables and fruits. I am eating better than I have in a long time. I also purchased my Chef Ming Pressure cooker and it's the first of 3 cookers that actually works. It is WONDERFUL. So is his 1300 Watt blender. I have fresh chicken breast that I cook with fresh carrots, mushrooms, and small potatoes. I can whip up my Complete shakes from Juice plus. All set. I have no idea what the chemo did to my system.as I am a breast cancer survivor. Twice now. your nutrition is very important part of your health. Just ask my cousin Jackie she will tell you... jcastroshares.juiceplus.com

I like the portion container kit, but in my opinion it's not worth the money spent. I could easily use old containers I have to store my portion in. In addition, I always forget what color is for what food portions; I wrote in on the bottom of each container with a sharpie but the ink always seems to washoff. Great idea for those who need extra assistance with ensuring their portion sizes are exact, but not really helpful to me.

When these arrived, my first thought was "what the ____?" The containers look small...I mean really small! So small in fact that when I saw them nestled inside each other I was angry I had ust spent as much as I did on food containers that seemed to be made for infants. But when you start using them, you see they are actually well sized for balanced portions. I'm doing the 1200-1499 calorie diet which means I get the following each day: 3 green containers for veggies(I can fit 3/4 of a CAN of green beans in one container!) 2 purple containers for fruits (I can fit 5 LARGE, sliced strawberries in one container!) 4 red containers for proteins (I can fit an entire cup of chopped chicken in one container) 2 yellow containers for carbs (I can fit about 1/3 of a large, mashed sweet potato in one container) 1 blue container for healthy fats (I can fit a surprising amount of shredded cheese in one container) 2 orange container for seeds (I haven't used this one yet) Download the Tally sheets and food cards if you didn't buy the set with them and start planning your meals. You'll also need a container to put the food in as you really can't eat out of these too well. All in all, I find it is easier to keep track of my calories with an app on my phone and not have to actually worry about planning BUT I find that I don't easily control other factors such as carbs, fats, fruits, veggies etc. So while I may be eating few calories, I'm not actually eating healthy. With this system, I can easily ensure I stay low on carbs and calories while high with proteins and produce.
