Americans are blessed with an abundance of food when compared to other countries. A trip to the grocery store reveals varieties of foods for our selection. Our abundance of food can also lead us to partake of an over abundance of calories and fat at meal time.
As you sit down to family gatherings in the near future take a moment to decide what portion size you should put on your plate.
3 oz of meat is about the same size as the palm of your hand
½ cup cooked vegetables or pasta is about the same size as one cupped hand
1 teaspoon is about the same as the tip of your thumb
1 ounce of cheese is about the same as the length and width of your thumb
