Let’s Talk Portions
By April 3

You’ve probably heard a lot about how portion sizes can control overeating. Sounds easy, right? But how do you know what 3 ounces looks like? (It’s hard for me to visualize and I’m a nutritionist!) I had to look this one up and found a great slideshow from the Mayo Clinic, a highly respected medical group, here.

Try to visualize some of these sizes the next time you eat out. Eating smaller portions is an easy way to cut back on calories. Also, if you’re curious how portions have changed over time, check out this portion distortion quiz and see how you fare. It’s crazy how much serving sizes have changed!
