Serving Sizes (for next month)

As promised here are a few of the servings sizes to keep in the back of your mind until next month.  Remember to eat normal foods and as much as you normally would this month, but don't forget to get in your 30 minutes of exercise every day!

According to the United States Department of Agriculture a serving size is:

• Fruit/Veggies-about 1/2 cup for raw
• Greens like spinach or romaine lettuce is about 1 cup
• A single piece of fruit such as an apple, orange or pear is considered one serving size
• One serving of fruit juice is a 4 oz. glass.
• The serving size of meat should be roughly the size of your palm or a deck of cards.
