Visual for food/portion comparison

What is one serving?
Some comparisons to visualize food portions:
Nickel : the diameter of dry spaghetti = 2oz dry/1c cooked

Tennis ball: 1 cup of cooked rice or 15 grapes

Baseball: 12-oz. potato or 1 cup of dry cereal

Deck of cards: 3 oz meat

1 matchbook : 1tbsp of salad dressing, oil, mayonnaise


FORM+STOMACH=FULLNESS & CONTROL
