Don’t have a measuring cup, but need to know how many servings are on your plate? Use visual cues to help you. Here’s how:
One serving of meat, poultry, or fish =
a deck of cards or the size of your palm |
|
 |
One serving of cheese (1½ oz.)=
size of six dice or 2 fingers (1 cubic inch = 5 g fat) |
|

|
One serving of bread, cooked cereal, pasta, or rice = size of a small fist or a hockey puck |
