Size matters – take control of portion size! PDF Print E-mail

Because there’s too much of everything on our plates, we are getting far more calories than we need daily. You may be surprised to learn these are serving sizes: 

    * 1 slice of bread 

    * 1⁄2 cup rice or pasta (cooked)

    * 1 small piece of fruit (super-large apples are 2+ servings)

    * 1 wedge of melon

    * 3⁄4 cup fruit juice

    * 1 cup milk or yogurt

    * 2 oz. cheese (about the size of a domino)

    * 2-3 oz. meat, poultry or fish (this is about the size of a deck of cards)
