I thought this was interesting, especially since we are all trying to eat right.
½ cup fruit, vegetable, cooked cereal, pasta or rice = a small fist
3 ounces cooked meat, poultry or fish = a deck of cards
1 tortilla = a small (7 inch) plate
½ bagel = the width of a large coffee lid
1 muffin = a large egg
1 teaspoon of margarine or butter = a thumb tip
2 tablespoons of peanut butter = a golf ball
a small baked potato = a computer mouse
1 pancake or waffle = a 4 inch CD
1 medium apple or orange = a baseball
4 small cookies (like vanilla wafers) = four casino chips
1-1/2 ounces of cheese = 6 dice
