Since thanksgiving is on my mind, here are some tips to help you control your plate and have to the correct portion size.
- Small plates helps because people will take less food and take in less calories.
-one serving of meat should be 3ounces, roughly the size of a deck of cards
-Smaller serving bowls will help because people will take less food as well
I really wish I could follow this. But, if your family is like mine, the whole table is filled with food! We have a big family so it's hard to just follow a portion size when everything is out in front of you. But, I may go home this Thanksgiving and try this to see if it works. It makes sense and hopefully I will be able to do this!
ReplyDeleteThe fast food restaurants in the U.S. need to seriously cut back on their portion sizes. Being able to "Supersize" a meal is disgusting! Portion control is really a huge key to getting the U.S.'s obesity epidemic under control! Another way to help with portion control is to eat 5 small meals a day instead of 3 large meals. The smaller meals help speed up metabolism.
ReplyDeleteI know that portions should be controlled but with the holiday around it was hard to stick to such small sizes. But with this in mind and christmas on its way I will try to consider what you said. Also I was wondering if its possible to go under portion size? I know everyone always talks about going over but do people go under too much as well?
