Portion Distortion: How much are you really eating?By: Lynn Grieger
2. One bakery-shop bagel is how many servings of grains: Answer: The old standard "one-half bagel equals one serving of grain, or one slice of bread" doesn't apply to the giant-size bagels we eat with abandon. Most bagels are now five to six servings of grains. Be honest: Would you eat three sandwiches for lunch? That's what you're doing when you have a bagel sandwich.
Answer: One-half cup, or the amount you hold in one cupped hand, is one serving of pasta. Since we should aim for six or more servings of grains each day, it's okay to eat 1 cup of pasta (or two servings) at a meal. But remember, if you had a bagel for lunch, you've met your grain servings for the day with just 1/2 cup of pasta.
4. The serving size of raw salad greens is: Answer: One cup, or the amount you hold in two cupped hands.
5. How much cheddar cheese is one serving? Answer: 1 ounce, or about 1 1/2 thumbs' worth, is one serving of cheese.
