serving sizes are confusing me and are very frustrating... eating at restaurants is so difficult because we get 2 or 3 times or more a healthy serving size. we live in a supersized world of food and it's making me fat.
just had to vent.

Why not go to the restaurant and before thye even bring it to the table go ahead and ask your server to box up half of it for you to take home? It may make you feel like a pariah, but you have to watch out for yourself and this can be a good way to control portion sizes. You may not order the healthiest meal on the menu, but at least you won't eat it all in one serving! You can stretch it out for a few days and give your body a better chance to work it off with exercise.

yeah serving sizes can get very confusing! I think restaurants intentionally bring us these huge portions and that is why our ideas about servings are so out of whack with reality.

I saw today that a 3 ounce piece of fish is the size of a thick checkbook and that a cup of rice is the size of a tennis ball?!? Yikes! I have been eating way too much!
