Healthy portions

As we are discussing about "eating out" in the previous topics, today I would like to share something on portion size. Again, diet is not about what food you need to avoid, but to manage wisely on the portion and food choices. Afterall, its about total calories!

I find this portion size guide interesting

You can simply guide your food portion by using your own hands:

1. Consume 2 handfuls of vegetables for each meal.
2. Determine healthy portion of grains using your fist. Preferably, go for whole grains such as brown rice.
3. Use your palm size to estimate one serving of protein (Fish, egg, meatand its alternatives)
4. Include a fist size of fruits in or between your meals.
5. Limit your healthy choice of fats to 1 thumb tip size (1 teaspoon) in a meal.
