When I cook food I always cook one meal for myself. I have noticed that if I cook more than I usually cook - I eat it. And if I cook less than I usually cook - I eat it.There seems to be no difference really. I don't crave more food when I've eaten less.So if you are trying to lose weight my tip for you would be to cook one meal at a time and don't cook so you store up in the fridge. It's more likely you will eat more food if you cook more than if you cook less.Remember, eating smaller portions - ingesting lesser calories - is a key factor in losing weight.
