Based on a 2000 calorie diet you'd eat 6 ounces daily.


                   It's crucial you pick out healthy foods from every group to get the nutrients
                   that your body requires.


                   Think littler portions.


                   Serving sizes have ballooned lately, especially in restaurants. When eating
                   out, pick out a starter rather than an entrée, split a dish with a friend, and

                   don’t order supersized anything. At home, utilize littler plates, consider
                   serving sizes in realistic terms and start little.


                   Visual cues may help with  portion sizes—your serving  of meat, fish or
                   chicken ought to be the size of a deck of cards. A teaspoon of oil or dressing

                   is about the size of a matchbook and your slice of bread ought to be the size
                   of a CD case.
