In doing some research for the Eat Right Challenge, we came across this slide show on portion distortion. There's also a second slide show if you're interested. It's put out by the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
If you've got a few minutes, you should just skim through it. It's amazing just how much portion sizes have changed in the last 20 years. Even when you order a salad at dinner, you're still eating much more than you would have 20 years ago (about 400 calories more, actually).
Makes you think twice about filling up your plate.
