Think small: Play the portion game

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

I love the portion size game -- you know, like what's equal to one-fourth cup? Answer: A golf ball. What's one ounce of cheese look like? Answer: Two dominoes or four dice. How about one medium-sized bagel? Answer: A hockey puck. I don't know about you, but these references definitely help me measure serving sizes. Check out this table for more on sizing up your sizes.

Ah sizes. We're eating more calories than ever in this country and our portion sizes, especially those eaten away from home, are making us fat and unhealthy. One fix: Don't lose sight of how much you should be eating -- this video should help.

Thanks to EatingWell.com for the powerful portion advice.
