Happy Friday! Hope you all had a great week! It’s a never-ending battle with me to get my portions correct, so I thought this chart would be a huge help not only to you guys, but myself included. These portions look teeny tiny but keep in mind you should be eating 5-6 small meals a day! This is a HUGE issue when going out to restaurants. Most places load up the portions, leaving you the option to finish the whole thing. My personal advice: take half home with you! No need to be overly stuffed. This will only eliminate the “6 meals a day” theory.
So keep it small. Keep it simple and enjoy!

Do you guys think that our portions are too large here in America compared to other countries?

This is a great chart! Knowing portion sizes is so important but not always so easy. And it’s not too really right to bring measuring cups to a restaurant! Thanks for the great post.
I usually try to use the “eat half take the rest home” tactic when I am eating out. I agree that the restaurant industry doesn’t use this chart very well or at all.
Portion sizes — good to know. It’s so easy to go overboard when you “eyeball” it. So guilty on that one 😉
