Portion Sizes: Normal or Abnormal?

Check out these images that compare portion sizes today with those from the 1950s and 1980s (respectively):

This has been on my mind a lot lately. Since I've been making an effort to measure my food portions at home, I've become even more aware of the portions I'm served when eating out. When there's food in front of me, I want to eat it all...and that's why I try to order the healthier options when eating out. Then I can snatch one or two french fries from my husband's plate ;) Just a little thought that might save you a few calories next time you eat out - take it or leave it!
