Answer:
On average, adults should have 2-3 servings of dairy products, 2-3 servings of meat, 3-5 servings of vegetables, 2-4 servings of fruits, and 6-11 servings of grains such as bread, rice, cereal and pasta. Serving sizes are defined by the Food Guide Pyramid1 as follows: one serving includes
one slice of bread, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal or ½ cup cooked cereal, pasta, or rice
½ cup of cooked vegetables, 1 cup raw leafy vegetables, or ¾ cup vegetable juice
1 medium sized apple, banana, orange, or pear, ½ cup chopped, cooked or canned fruit, or ¾ cup fruit juice
1 cup of milk or yogurt, 1 ½ ounces of natural cheese or 2 ounces of processed cheese
2-3 ounces of meat, poultry or fish. The following count as 1 ounce of meat: ½ cup of cooked dry beans or tofu, 2 ½ ounce soyburger, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, or 1/3 cup of nuts.
Portion sizes of American food are a significant part of the obesity problem. Examples of the equivalent serving size include:
hamburger roll — 2 servings
doughnut — 2 servings
1 bagel (4 ½ inch diameter) — 4 servings
4 pancakes 5 inches in diameter — 6 servings
croissant — 2 servings
pie — 2 servings
individual bag tortilla chips — 2 servings
movie-style medium box of popcorn — 8 servings
1 medium order French fries — 4 servings
13 ounce trimmed cooked prime rib — 5 servings
Remember that food prepared with added sugar or with fat add significant calories. For example, one baked potato has 120 calories and almost no fat while 14 French fries have 225 calories and 11 grams of fat. One slice of frosted cake or pie has 6 added teaspoons of sugar; lowfat fruit yogurt has 7 added teaspoons of sugar; a 10 ounce chocolate shake, 9 added teaspoons; 12 ounces of cola, 9 added teaspoons; and 12 ounces of fruit drinks or fruit/orange-ades have 12 added teaspoons of sugar.
