Here's some resources to hopefully help others who, like me, are clueless to knowing what a serving size or a half-cup of something is. For me its been eye opening to find what I thought was a healthy portion clearly is not. This will be most help to my male counterparts as we understand pictures better than words, so I think. Frankly this is the hardest part of navigating the diet and menu planning.
The first link is really cool and is a take-home item. For starters, did you know that a 1 Cup measure is like the size of a baseball? Co with that in mind.....
The interent is a great resource. On to the links:
Serving size in pictures. Print this wallet size guide for reference
Did you know 5 spears of Asparagus is a serving? Me neither. Scroll down a little after download
For visual descriptions of Cup and . 4 leaves if lettuce is 1 Cup. I did not know that.
Some more. Not as good, but a Tennis ball is a fuit serving. Helpful later.
Focuses on serving size, now that you know what it looks like.
More pictures!!! Yeah baby!
That's my contribution. Off to the store with my baseball and starting induction tonight!
