Page 13 - Essentials For Eating Again
P. 13
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.
