Estimating serving sizes

The size of a single serving varies with the type of food.  In the beginning, you may need to measure portions.  You can also estimate portions using your hand.
  1. Your fist equals 1 cup
  2. Your palm equals 3 ounces
  3. Your thumb equals 2 tablespoons or 1 ounce
  4. Handful equals 1 or 2 ounces of a snack food, such as nuts
Reading nutrition labels

All package foods have a Nutrition Facts Label.  Nutrition labels lists a single serving size, calories per serving, and the number of grams of fat.  According to experts we should limit our intake of nutrients listed first on the label.
  • Fats
  • Cholesterol
  • Sodium

Food Pyramid

Food Pyramid is a useful guide for healthy eating.  Most of the foods we eat each day should be from the groups in the lower part of the pyramid and eat smaller amounts of the food in the upper part.
