Portion control for the gadget generation...

I love this!!!

The super-sizing of American portions has been going on for years, and nutrition experts urge us to cut the lion’s share to kitty size by learning how much is too much.  Because we are unlikely to stuff our purses and pockets with measuring cups and spoons, we must train our eye!

Next time you cradle your smart phone, think of it as a 3-4 ounce portion of the protein you should be eating at one sitting, whether it is a steak, piece of fish or chicken!  How about a computer mouse: that’s how big your baked potato should be!
