How Have Food Portions Changed in 20 Years?
National Heart, Lung, and Blood InstituteObesity Education Initiative
OrDoes the Size of Our Food
Really Matter?
Double the Size, Double the Calories
Could You Eat This 1,000 Calorie Burger for Dinner?
Restaurants have distorted our sense of size
3 Cups of Spaghetti Noodles is 600 Calories!
One Cup, 200 Calories, is the Right Size,
But We Wouldn’t Feel Like We
Got Our Money’s Worth
Bigger Portions Make Us Feel We’re Getting Our Money’s Worth
But Makes Us Eat More Than We Need
When We Eat More Than We
Need
We GAIN Weight

How Can You Fight
Portion Distortion?
Eat From MyPyramid
MyPyramid tells us how many servings of each type of food we need every day
Plan Your Meals Around Vegetables
You’ll Eat More Nutrients and Less Fat
Fill Half Your Plate With Vegetables
Let Meats Be the Side Dish
Use Smaller Plates
Your Brain Thinks There is More Food On a Smaller Plate
Eat Slowly
This gives your brain time to say “Whoa, You’re Full!
Know Portion Sizes
Practice until you can tell its right
Read Food Labels
Macaroni and Cheese
If You Eat the Whole Box, That’s Twice the Calories!
500 Calorie
s
Beware of Extra Calories
No more than 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, salad dressing or butter a day
Use Fats and Sugars Sparingly
What Does a Serving Size Look Like?
3 ounces of cooked meat, poultry, fish or beans or
the size of a deck of cardsor
The palm of your hand
A Serving of Meat
A Serving of Bread
The size of a CD case
A Serving of Milk
8 ounces or one cup of milk or yogurt
A Serving of Cheese
1 ½ ounces or six small dice
or the size of your thumb
A Serving of Peanut Butter
The size of a golf ball
A Serving of Fruit
The size of your fist, or a baseball
How big is the food you eat every day?
