Watch Portion Sizes


Tip 3 Watch Portion Sizes


Use a third of your plate for non-starchy, green vegetables half for whole grains or starchy vegetables and lean protein foods (a quarter each). Add a small portion of fruit, such as an apple or a half cup of berries. Include 1-2 tablespoons of a fermented food such as a salad dressing with vinegar or sour cream/yogurt and 1-2 tablespoons of healthy fat such as avocado or olive oil.


Read labels to determine serving sizes. Measuring cups may also help you compare your portions to the recommended serving size.
