Tips on Serving Sizes


It is sometimes difficult to understand the serving sizes that are indicated at the back labels of the products that we buy. To help you understand more about it here are some tips that was shared by Diana Kohle from Medicine.Net:

•One cup is approximately the size of your fist, and is typically two servings of pasta or rice.
•Three servings of meat, fish or chicken is about the size of a deck of cards, or the palm of your hand.
•One apple should be about the size of a baseball.
•Two servings of a bagel (about one half of a bagel) should be about the size of a hockey puck.
•One serving of a pancake should be about the size of a compact disc.
•One serving of cheese is about the size of four stacked dice.
