Lately, everything is getting bigger, from plates and bowls, to our waistlines and even the
“average” pants sizes. Not only is our food supersized, we’re becoming super sized too. This
leads to diabetes, heart disease, and even some cancers. Here are some tips to help you keep your
portions under control. For example, a deck of cards is equal to a serving of meat, fish, or
poultry. A serving of fruit is about the size of a tennis ball. Eat three meals a day; this will help
you eat sensible portions so you won’t overeat later. Also, serve food on smaller plates and don’t
bring extra food to the table. Skip the “clean plate” club—we don’t exercise as much as our
ancestors did, so we can’t burn all that food off. Better yet, don’t waist it – just take smaller
portions.
