Healthy eating includes making healthful food choices, which means knowing what and how much you eat. Picture in your mind what a plate of spaghetti looks like. That is a portion. You decided how much you put on your plate. According to the dietary guidelines, a serving of cooked pasta is a half-cup. Picture that plate again… is there just a half-cup of spaghetti on your plate?
I was taking a break from de-Christmasing and I think this is a great post about portion control-- additional tips on managing portion size. It's from the same blogger, Cindy, who gave me the information about the portion control tools.
Enjoy!
