I heard a couple of tips on a tv show not long ago.

Lower the lights in the room you are eating in, bright light causes stress which makes us eat more.

Use a smaller plate as mentioned before, it gets filled up with fewer calories making use think we are getting more.

Don't eat at the computer, while watching tv or in the car only at the table.

Put low calorie snacks at your eye level and less desirable snacks lower where kids can reach them. Of course my thinking is don't even buy the junk food as our kids don't need them either.

When you buy snacks bag them up into individual serving sizes so everyone can just grab and go which makes packing lunches faster.
