Smart Portions

Consider these ideas to help your youngster get used to healthy serving sizes.

See my hand?  Children carry along the easiest tools for measuring portions—their hands! Have him/her make a fist. That’s how big a serving of pasta or rice should be. Let her look at her thumb—that’s a good size for a  piece of cheese. A portion of meat or chicken should fit in her palm; a serving of pretzels about a handful.

Downsize- Using smaller plates is a clever way to control portions. Set the dinner table with salad plates; Use teacups for soup or ice cream. Instead of large serving spoons, put tablespoons into bowls or platters of food— everyone will naturally take less.

Think ahead- Before putting food on the table, cut it into smaller pieces; thinly slice a steak, or cut chicken breasts into quarters. Another idea is to just make less. Toast half of a bagel (rather than a whole one) for each person, make one baked potato for every two people.

Make a plan- When you eat out, suggest that your child order an appetizer for her meal, or split an entrée with her. Try to avoid buffets— it’s too easy to overfill a plate. Also, stay away from supersizing. The name itself shows that it’s too much!
