Aim for 2000 calories per day. Ban the following words from your food vocabulary – jumbo, deluxe, super-sized, all-you-can-eat, and triple-decker.
Use the following visuals when thinking about portion sizes:
½ cup of vegetables or fruit is about the size of your fist.
A medium apple is the size of a baseball.
A three-ounce portion of meat, fish or poultry is about the size of deck of cards.
A single-serving bagel is about the size of a hockey puck.
1 ½ ounces of cheese is the size of a pair of dice.
One tablespoon of peanut butter is about the size of the tip of your thumb.
