Eating on the Go

If you're eating out, it’s hard to judge the correct portions sizes at restaurants. Here are some useful tips for assessing portion sizes using your hand.


-The size of your fist is roughly equal to a cup-size serving of cereal, wild rice, black beans, etc.
-The size of your thumb is roughly equal to an ounce-size serving of cheese.
-The tip of your thumb is roughly equal to a teaspoon of olive oil or butter.
-The center of the palm of your hand, without fingers, is roughly equal to a 3-ounce serving of fish, chicken, beef, etc.


Keep these in mind and feel more in control so you enjoy your time out on the town.
