Know your servings.

Portion sizes have ballooned out of control over the years.  An average bagel had a 3 inch diameter in 1990.  Today it's twice the size and more than twice the calories.  The list below will help you get your serving size right.

* 1 oz of cheese - 4 stacked dice
*3 oz of meat -  a bar of soap
*3 oz of fish - a checkbook
*1/2 cup of pasta - a computer mouse
*3/4 cup of stir fry veggies - over half of your plate
*1 cup of fresh fruit - a baseball

I read this in prevention magazine. Thought I'd share it!
