🌿 Wellness Wednesday: Let’s Talk Portion Sizes – The Real Ones 🌿
Not the ones we’ve been using… 👀
Trying to lose weight, balance hormones, or just feel better in your body?
One game-changing tip that’s often overlooked: portion sizes.
Not the “American supersize-me” kind—but the science-backed, body-friendly ones.
🍝 Pasta? It’s not the heaping bowl. A serving is ½ cup cooked – about the size of a tennis ball.'
🍗 Protein? Palm-sized. 3 to 4oz. That’s it. Not that 8oz steak in the restaurant.
🍞 Bread? One slice. Not the triple-decker sandwich tower.
🧈 Butter? Tip of your thumb - not a shovel scoop. (I feel judged)
🥜 Nut butter? 1–2 tablespoons – not “however much fits on the spoon.”
🍷 Wine? 5 oz. Not all the way to the rim 😆
👉 Portion sizes aren’t about restriction - they’re about empowerment. 👊
Start by pulling back the portions, not your progress. 📸 Check out the portion graphic below and let us know: Which one surprised you the most?
1-2 tbsp of Nut butter seems a lot to me
