1 Lesson By Carone Fitness How Much? For some, the problem is not what they are eating, but how much they are eating. Many people find it difficult to eat fewer calories because they do not know how many calories they are currently consuming or how much they should be eating. 1

2 Portion Size A serving size is the recommended allotment of food you should eat. A portion size is the amount of food you serve yourself. Your portion size is often times not equivalent to the serving size listed on the package label. You may eat more or less than one serving. Food Recommendations This lesson outlines the USDA recommendations for each food group. It also provides some tips and hints on estimating appropriate portion sizes. The amount of food you need each day depends on your age, gender, and level of physical activity. The following are general recommendations by food group, age, and gender. 2
