Right-Size Your Portions

When it comes to portion sizes, bigger is not always better! Because we live in a culture that promotes getting the most for your money, our idea of a correct portion size might not always be accurate. If you are confused about what the right portion size of your favorite foods is, or if you need help combating the "super-sized" message of our consumer culture, you can get back on track with these tips:

Order a kids meal. You will get less food for less money.

Share your meal with a family member or friend.

Order water instead of soft drinks.

Don’t super-size. Super sizing usually provide more fries, more soft drink and more calories.

Think twice when ordering the value meal combo.They usually contain larger serving sizes.

Don't always order the large hamburger

Choose fast food only occasionally. Eat and prepare more meals at home.
