Serving sizes: how many are you eating?

Potatoes_1.jpgI ran across a great article on how to estimate food serving sizes, and some of the portions may surprise you. For example, did you know that a serving of mashed potatoes is no larger than half an apple? I have been to restaurants where the entire meal sits on a bed of them.

Note to self: do not eat any serving size that can serve as a “bed” for another food.
