1 SerVing Size Looks LiKe...

In the previous post..

~ >>Food Guide Pyramid<>Serving Size<< ~

I had gave some examples of 1 serving size of food for each food group..
I also mentioned about the approximate weight for 1 serving size of the food..

Yet.. It is impossible for us to weight every food that we take..
So.. In order to know roughly..
How many serving size of grains, vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy product from the food portion which you had eaten..

..Here are some Tips..

GRAIN PRODUCTS

1 cup of cereal flakes = fist

1 pancake = compact disc

½ cup of cooked rice, pasta/potato = ½ baseball

1 slice of bread = cassette tape

1 piece of cornbread = bar of soap

VEGETABLES AND FRUIT

1 cup of (4 leaves) lettuce salad greens = baseball

1 baked potato = fist

1 med. fruit = baseball

½ cup of fresh fruit = ½ baseball

¼ cup of raisins = large egg

DAIRY AND CHEESE

1½ oz. cheese = 4 stacked dice/2 cheese slices

½ cup of ice cream = ½ baseball

FATS

1 tsp. margarine/spreads = 1 dice
