Controlling portions is often easier said than done. If you're trying to follow a calorie-controlled diet, it's hard to visualize what portion sizes or calorie amounts should look like. To give you an idea, our Nutrition Guide shows us what 300 calories looks like using a variety of foods. Also this week: low-carb snacks, making meringue, veggie burgers six ways, and much more.

Low Carb Snack Ideas
We think of snacks as sort of frivolous, but they can be a very important part of your food plan. Bridging the gap between meals while avoiding those all-too-easy-to-find cookies, chips, etc. can be a challenge if you don't plan ahead. Here are some great, nutritious low carb choices.

Learn How to Make a Meringue
A meringue should neither be rock hard nor tough and chewy. Instead it should be delicately crispy on the outside and slightly soft on the inside. Making a decent meringe is actually quite straightforward so long as you follow a few basic rules. Follow my step-by-step for making a foolproof meringue and end up with a fabulous fat-free strawberry pavlova fit for Father's Day, or any other special occasion.
