Answer:

Using a smaller plate helps with portion control because it tricks the mind into thinking that you have more food. When food is placed on a smaller plate, it takes up more space. Because there is now less empty space on the plate, the portion size looks bigger than if it were put on a bigger plate.

Humans are taught from birth to "finish your plate". This becomes an issue when discussing portions. The majority of people are not fed correct portions. You can limit your own, by "finishing" a smaller version of your plate.

I hope that made sense, it was an opinionated question.
