Here's a handy way to estimate portion sizes.
























For those who struggle with trying to visualize diet recommendations such as "1 cup of pasta",
  • 3 ounces of meat is the size of a deck of cards
  • 1 and 1/2 ounces of cheese is the size of 4 dice
  • 1 cup of cooked cereal or pasta is the size of a baseball.
