Serving & Portion Size
When it comes to servings and portion sizes, it’s not unusual for us to believe we’re eating a healthy and well-balanced meal even when we’re not. Typically most of us tend to underestimate the amount of food we eat and underestimate the size of our portions so that we’re actually consuming multiple times the recommended amount. So whether you’re living with diabetes, or just want to maintain a healthy and well-balanced diet, the following charts should help keep you on the right track.
