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
