It’s time to downsize food portions!

 Knowing the difference between serving sizes versus portion sizes
will help to keep you from overeating.

 

It is a known fact that Americans are eating too much. They are heading for obesity and the health risks associated with being heavier. The trend toward larger food portions is partly to blame for the growing number of overweight people today.

The National Institute of Health states that more than half of Americans are overweight and at risk for weight-related diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis and even sleep disorders.
 
Even though this trend probably started in restaurants, it has now made its way into our homes. “According to a study published in the Jan.22, 2003, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, the average portion sizes and caloric content for foods such as hamburgers, snacks and soda have increased considerably.”

Items such as salty snacks are 60% larger; soft drinks have increased in size by 52%; hamburgers have increased in size by 23%
.
Knowing the right amount of food is to understand what a serving size is. A serving has a specific amount of calories and nutrients. Examples are:
 

  • A medium orange/apple = size of a tennis ball
  • A cup of fruit=size of a baseball
  • One ounce of cheese = size of four dice
  • One tsp. of peanut butter = the tip of your thumb
  • 3 oz. meat = size of a deck of cards
  • A medium potato = size of a computer mouse
  • An average bagel = size of a hockey puck
A portion is the amount you choose to eat and is usually more than a serving size. Make sure to read food labels for serving sizes.

Suggestions: Don’t go back for seconds, split a meal/dessert with your spouse/friend, leave a portion on your plate and cover with a napkin.
 

Eat several small meals during the day that include quality, healthy snacks.

There’s a difference between eating ‘til your stuffed and
eating ‘til your comfortable!
So…eat when you’re hungry, but stop when you feel comfortable.

Choose quality snacks:
  • Vegetables - One of the best snacks on the market! Put assorted veggies on a
    plate and use a light ranch dip. Yum, Yum!!
  • Cereal - Choose high fiber, low sugar cereals .
  • Popcorn - Look for the healthier versions that are 98% fat-free, or plain popcorn. Yes, you can drizzle on just a bit of margarine (no trans-fats). It’s still better than eating the full-fat brands.
  • Yogurt/Frozen Yogurt - Buy plain yogurt and add something to it like a serving
    of fruit or low-fat granola.
  • Put fresh berries in the freezer for a refreshing treat.
  • Fruits/Fruit Smoothies - A great and healthy snack. If you make a fruit smoothie, the dairy will sustain you.
  • Popsicles/Frozen Fruit Bars/Yogurt Bars- The 100% fruit choices are an especially fine snack.
  • Make a batch of decaf iced tea. Add the sugar substitute Splenda and lemon
    juice. Freeze in plastic  Popsicle mold for a cool snack.
  • Ice Cream - This is not an everyday snack! Low fat is the best choice. Breyer’s Light Vanilla or Smart Ones fudge bars can satisfy your ice cream/chocolate cravings.
  • Granola Bars - Be careful here! The chewier they are, the more sugar and fat
    they contain. Healthier versions are crunchier and not chocolate-coated. Read
    the label!
  • Cookies - BE AWARE! These should not be a regular snack, even if they’re
    low/fat-free. Read Labels!
  • Peanut Butter - Ok… if you just eat one tablespoon and with only whole grained
    crackers or toast.
  • Fill a low-carb tortilla with a thin later of hummus (good protein). Top with
    sprouts and thinly sliced tomatoes.
  • Indulge in a small handful of nuts or pumpkin seeds.

Recipe Corner

 Berries with Baked Meringue
Serves 4
Meringue topping has all the appeal of any great dessert - its toasty "crust"
reveals a luxuriously puffy, glossy and sweet white interior. What a delicious,
fat-free way to highlight a hot, gooey layer of tart-sweet mixed berries.

1 16-ounce bag frozen mixed berries
Grated peel of ½ orange (orange part only)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Topping:
2 large egg whites*
1/8-teaspoon cream of tartar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the berries in a saucepan on low heat. Stir in orange zest and sugar, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries are hot throughout. Drain excessive liquid and reserve for later use. **

Meanwhile, beat egg whites with an electric beater on medium in a clean,
grease-free, glass or metal bowl. When they're foamy, stop and add cream of tartar. Continue to beat; when soft peaks form, continue beating while sprinkling in sugar in a slow stream. Continue to beat until peaks are stiff and glossy.

Working quickly, divide the hot, not-too-liquid fruit among four ovenproof bowls
or teacups. (A slotted spoon is helpful here.) Dollop (spoon a puff on) and spread the meringue over each bowl, and place them all in the oven on the middle
rack.

Bake 10-12 minutes, until the meringue is light brown and puffy, and the fruit
underneath is still hot and juicy. Serve each bowl with a saucer or plate
underneath. Warn others that the bowls are very hot.

* To separate an egg's white from its yolk, crack the egg in half. Keep one half
in each hand; over a bowl, pour the yolk back and forth between the two eggshell
halves, so the white drips into the bowl. Reserve the yolk for later use, or
discard.
