Know your portions
January 2nd, 2009
I have always had trouble working out correct portion sizes for various foods so I was really pleased to find this very handy portion guide over at webmd.com
It uses everyday items as a comparison, for instance 3 oz of lean cooked beef is roughly the size of a deck of cards. You can use their online tool to find the most common foods or download a chart for either your wallet or fridge.
The baseball is quite often as a comparison which is a bit challenging for me as they are not all that common in Australia but I get the idea.
