• Woman's fist or baseball - a serving of vegetables or fruit is about the size of your fist
• A rounded handful - about one half cup cooked or raw veggies or cut fruit, a piece of fruit, or ½ cup of cooked rice or pasta - this is a good measure for a snack serving, such as chips or pretzels
• Deck of cards - a serving of meat, fish or poultry or the palm of your hand (don't count your fingers!) - for example, one chicken breast, ¼ pound hamburger patty or a medium pork chop
• Golf ball or large egg - one quarter cup of dried fruit or nuts
• Tennis ball - about one half cup of ice cream
• Computer mouse - about the size of a small baked potato
• Compact disc - about the size of one serving of pancake or small waffle
• Thumb tip - about one teaspoon of peanut butter
• Six dice - a serving of cheese
• Check book - a serving of fish (approximately 3 oz.)
• Eyeball it! - Take a look at the recommended serving sizes on the new USDA MyPyramid Food Guidance System. Get out a measuring cup or a food scale and practice measuring some of your favorite foods onto a plate, so that you can see how much (or how little!) a ½ cup or 3-ounce serving is. This will help you "eyeball" a reasonable serving!
