How much are you REALLY eating???

Until I actually bought a digital food scale, I had no idea how much 2 oz of pasta REALLY was. Now I do. And im going to show you just how much food 2 oz or 3 oz really is.... its smaller than you think

Here's the chicken - 3 oz frozen tyson chicken strips

 Here's 1 cup of Birds Eye Potato Chef's Favorites ( this is approx half the bag) one serving is 1 cup and 1/4 of a cup. But there is only about 2 cups in the bag.

 This is 2 oz of pasta with the chicken from above. This is a regular size bowl.

It is eye opening to see how much food you should consume, versus how much you ARE consuming. This was my dinner. One bowl of whole wheat pasta 2 oz, with 3 oz of chicken strips, and 1 cup of the Birds Eye and water.

Total Calories:  130 Calories for the Roasted Potatoes w/ sauce and 2 grams of fat

Adds up fast, doesnt it?
