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)
