Abstract: A “portion-smart” graduated container enables a user to accurately measure dietary portions and consume the same from the “portion-smart” container. The graduated container comprises an inner container surface, an outer container surface, a container rim, a container bottom, and a container wall. The inner container surface at the container wall comprises graduated markings and is designed to receive dietary portions intermediate the container rim, container wall, and container bottom. The graduated markings are user-viewable via the container rim for enabling the user to volumetrically measure received dietary portions. The dietary portions are removable from the graduated container during a mealtime and the “portion-smart” graduated container thus enables the user to dole out dietary portions.
