Size DOES Matter

So we all know that America's growing waistline has much to do with the growing sizes of portions, whether it be because we buy in bulk or at restaurants and fast food places giving you the "most for your money"

First let's define the difference between servings and portions:

A serving is a designated size that is defined my common measurements such as teaspoons, ounces or cups.

A portion is the amount of a food that actually goes on your plate.

There is an awesome slide show with this and more info from the Mayo Clinic

Next let's talk about making those portions better fit a serving even when you are out at a restaurant.  I have found something that will make you very happy....It is a board game that gives you spaces per good portion control effort.  Click Here

It goes over everything from how to snack to how to store snacks so that you can control your portions better. As some may not know, when eating out of the package it is easier to eat more than to eat from a pre-portioned package.
