Hello ,
One of the biggest challenges when eating out is portion size.
Restaurant meals can be 2–3 times larger than what our bodies need.
Learning to manage portions helps maintain:
• Energy balance
• Blood sugar control
• Healthy weight
Portion Strategies
✔ Share meals
Split an entrée with a friend.
✔ Box half immediately
Ask for a take-home container at the beginning of the meal.
✔ Choose appetizers as meals
Many appetizers provide a reasonable portion size.
✔ Balance your plate
Aim for:
• ½ vegetables
• ¼ protein
• ¼ carbohydrates
Example balanced plate:
Grilled fish
Roasted vegetables
Small portion of rice
