I bet you wonder once in a while, just how much is a serving? When someone advises you to try for so many servings from this or that food group a day, how do you know if your plate holds one serving or even more? Well, according to the Canadian Diabetes Association, you can let your hands be your guide. For grains and starches, you want an amount the size of your two fists. For fruits, you have chosen one serving if you have an amount the size of one fist. For meats and alternatives, you want an amount the size of the palm of your hand, but only the thickness of your baby finger. For vegetables, it's almost like a free rein, because you can choose as much as you can hold in both hands. Kinda' makes you think of Miss Piggy's sagacious admonition to never eat more than you can lift!
