 Portion Control
It is important to pay attention to the amount of foods you eat.
Many times when eating out, the amount of food that is served contains more than 1 portion or serving size.
Large portions contain more calories than the normal sized portion.
Here are some common items that represent normal portion sizes:
1 cup = baseball
1/2 cup = lightbulb
1 oz or 2 Tbsp = golf ball
1 Tbsp = poker chip
3 oz chicken or meat = deck of playing cards
3 oz fish = checkbook
