A portion size can be confusing for some of us we often wonder how much food we should be piling on our plate. Reducing your portion sizes can help you reduce and maintain a healthy weight.
A portion is:
a fist size of potatoes, bread, pasta or other starchy carbohydrates
a palm size of meat/fish or poultry
two handfuls of vegetables or salad
a cupped-handful of fruit
top of your thumb size of oil or fat spread.
Try using a smaller plate, filling half of your plate with vegetables and avoiding second helpings.
