2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans

The USDA Dietary Guidelins for Americans will be updated in 2010

Portion Sizes

Let you hand be your guide.

A simple way to keep track of how much you are eating is to use your hand to help determine a portion size.

• Palm of hand = one serving (3 oz) meat fish or poultry



• Tip of thumb to first joint = 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 ounce of cheese



• Tip of finger to first joint = 1 teaspoon of oil



• Clenched fist = two servings (1 cup) of potatoes, rice or pasta



• Cupped hand = one serving (1/2 cup) pasta, chopped fruit, cooked veggies



• Small hand holding tennis ball = one serving (one cup) of milk, yogurt, or chopped fresh greens
