In a super-sized world, it’s very easy to get portion sizes distorted. Chances are, we also grew up with the notion that we must finish everything on our plates. That wouldn’t be a problem if we weren’t served Frisbee sized burgers, Mt. Spaghetti, and sky scraper ice cream cones. Though it’s a learning process, it’s easy to become accustomed to true serving sizes. Your hands are a great tool to grasp the idea of what you should be consuming. Oh, the wonders of the human body…

TIP OF THUMB (approximately 1 teaspoon): Ex: butter, cooking oil
