We live in a society where we are continuously ensuring that we "get our money's worth". So in order to fill this, our perceived "value level", our food items get larger or we are getting more food for less. When it comes to food, what it has done is double, triple, even quadruple serving sizes. But do you know the amount of a serving of meat is? What about a beverage serving size?
Here are several good ideas to get your portions in check and several methods for keeping them in balance.
An amount of..
Fruit = the size of a tennis ball
Vegetables = a can of tuna fish (about one half a cup)
Meat = a deck of playing cards (3 ounces)
Cheese = as big as your thumb (1 oz)
Pasta = a can of tuna fish (1/2 cup)
There are some tips for portion control and healthy eating. First, make use of little plates- the fuller plate will cause you to feel like you are eating more. Eat slower, when you ingest a meal too fast your brain does not have sufficient time to comprehend you happen to be full until it is too late and you have by now consumed too much.
Consume the foods that will be low in calories and healthiest first and foremost. You can eat a lot of these without having to take in an excessive amount of calories (good party tip: hit up the vegetable trays first and grab a bottle of water). If you are still feeling hungry after you have finished what's on the plate, simply wait 20 minutes and if you are still starving, then go back for more of the low calorie products or grab a piece of fruit, etc for dessert.
Lastly, anytime you feel hungry, drink 8 ounces of water first. Dehydration is commonly mistaken for hunger!
