- Keeping
track of portion sizes helps manage your calorie intake which is a must for
effective weight management.
- The
amount of food you choose for a meal may actually be larger or smaller than
what is considered to be a one serving or portion.
- For example, one serving of dry cereal is equal to 1 cup which should look like the size of your fist.
- For examples of other recommended serving sizes, check out NHLBI serving cards
