]]> Serving size and portion size—they’re the same thing—right? Well, no. If you’re trying to lead a healthier lifestyle, it’s important to pay attention to these numbers, but they’re not the same. Serving size affects your portion size and vice versa. So, what’s the difference?

Serving Size

Serving size is a standardized amount of food and it’s written on the nutrition facts label. The label shows the amount of sugar, sodium, carbs, protein, and calories in a serving size. Serving sizes should guide you on how much to eat over the course of the day.

Portion Size

Just because a serving size is written on the food, it doesn’t mean that’s exactly what you’ll eat. Portion size is how much you should eat at once. Unlike the serving size, portion size isn’t standardized, which means you could eat more or less than a serving size. Portion size is up to you.

Converting Portion Size to Serving Size

While portion size and serving size are different, they can work together to help you get a better idea of your overall diet. Use the serving size as a goal by matching your portions of a specific food group to the recommended daily amounts.

]]> If you’re looking to get healthier, it’s important to eat high-quality foods. But, how much you’re eating is just as relevant and when you eat healthy foods, it’s really easy to eat too much of it without realizing that you’re overdoing the recommended portion size. These foods are the ones to watch out for when trying to follow portion sizes.

Avocado

We can’t seem to get enough avocado, but did you know the portion size of avocados is 1/3 to 1/5 of a medium-sized avocado? Avocados can be found in almost any foods these days from brownies to toast and you need to keep in mind that they’re high in monosaturated fats. One medium-sized avocado is 234 calories!

Fruit Smoothies

When you order a smoothie at a shop they usually come in 20-ounces or more, but the portion size is about half of that. Smoothies have tons of nutrients, but they’re high in sugar and calories.

I prepare fresh almond milk for my children‘s breakfast almost every morning. With the leftover almond milk, I prepare a fruit smoothie, this one is made with almond milk, banana, and strawberries. The leftover pulp from straining the almond milk, gets blended with banana and a little water and dehydrated into sweet chapatis. . . . . . #rawvegan #rawfoods #rawfood #yoga #rohkost #healthyfood #crudivore #eattherainbow #cancerprevention #fullyraw #rawvegansofig #veganism #plantbased #foodasmedicine #plantbaseddiet #diet #rawveganfoodshare #rawvegandiet #joywithrawfood #sugarfree #vegansofig #veganfood #vegan #vegetarian #veganfoodshare #rawveganfood #plantpowered #saltfreerawfood #vegansofaustralia #crudivegano

Granola

A breakfast staple, granola is high in calories and fat, plus, most store-bought versions have tons of added sugar. The recommended portion size is 1/3-1/4 cup, which is way less than filling your entire cereal bowl.

Frozen Yogurt & Ice Cream

It’s important to note that not all frozen yogurt is healthier than ice cream. When you go to an ice cream shop, they come with 2-4 scoops or 1-2 cups, which is way more than the recommended portion size of 1 scoop or 1/2 cup.

Olive Oil

Olive oil has tons of health benefits and it’s packed with healthy fats, but if you use olive oil in your salads, pasta, or for cooking, you need to pay attention to how much you are adding. The recommended portion size is one tablespoon which has 120 calories and it adds up quickly when you’re dousing your food in it.
