Size Matters....portion size, that is...

[cata5]

Some eye opening info on portion size affecting our weight (not only at restaurants, but at home, too). The actual newspaper had some great pictures showing a restaurant serving and then the portion you SHOULD eat.

Did you know that a large movie popcorn-unbuttered has 93 grams of fat and 1650 calories??????

10. How much is one serving of ice cream?

a) 1/2 cup

b) 1 cup

c) Entire carton

BWAHAHHAA! I think that's a trick question. Last month I was bad. I ate a whole carton of ice cream by myself in just 3 days. Hubby doesn't like butter pecan, or I would have shared.

I missed 2. I know a lot about what a serving size should be, I just don't follow it.

edit again: thanks for the links

I've noticed that even the senior portions are larger, so now when I order in a restaurant I get something that will be good when I heat it up the next day. That way I only eat half of what is on the plate.

I read this in the Star Trib tday too. I was wrong on most of the portion size questions.

I did know the ice cream one, mainly because I've been watching my portions and serving sizes lately. 1/2 cup???? I wonder who came up with this. Who eats a half cup of ice cream?
