    Estimating food portions

    A goody from Men's Health: How Much Are You Eating? Easy ways to estimate serving sizes Doling out food portions for a recipe or a diet plan is always a crapshoot; we can barely tell 3 ounces from 10. Worse, we simply shovel down restaurant chow until we're asked to leave. Nutritionists...
