  • How big is that breakfast pastry

  • And how many cups of cereal does that big bowl hold?

  • What is in a sandwich? Many portions of bread and meat - not much veggies

  • How to make a healthier breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, dessert - we do show how do do and measure right

  • What is a popular dinner - it looks like one thing on a plate - but measure it out and what do you have?

• When you choose more fruits and vegetables, you get to eat more food for the same or fewer calories

• How to load a healthy plate - a great formula for every meal

• Use smaller plates and cups - with visuals showing the difference

Here are excerpts from each section: 

Snacks -

• Don't go by package size; read the label and measure; most packaged snacks are about a handful per serving.

• BUT choosing healthful snacks is more important than measuring foods out of the box/bag. To illustrate this valuable point, we show 150 calories of chips, puffs, cookies, grapes, carrots and strawberries; you get to eat so much more with fruits and vegetables versus packaged snacks.

• We also have fun making a delicious fruit and vegetable snack platter for two and comparing volume and calories with 1 ounce of chips. 

Beverages -

• Many beverage bottles contain more than one serving and many cups are more than a cup

• A demonstration teaches individuals how to measure beverages by cup. 

Breakfast -

• Huge baked goods are around 500 calories.

• But if you make the magic formula of 1 cup lowfat milk/yogurt, 1 cup fruit and 1 serving whole grain you end up with about 250 calories - and double the amount of food!

• We show tips for whole grain breakfast foods and their portion sizes.

• For example - what a one serving size bagel really looks like compared to the bakery version, 1 slice of toast and how to measure cereal and put it in a realistic sized bowl. 

Lunch -

• We present a huge submarine sandwich and explain it is 1200 calories.

• Then we dissect the sandwich and find out it is a whole plate of meat, a whole plate of bread and just a tad of veggies.

• We make a better lunch with a huge salad, chicken vegetable soup and whole grain bread for just 400 calories. 

Dinner -

• See a plate of fried chicken, cheese macaroni and buttered potatoes equal 1200 calories.

• Watch us make and measure a plate with 1/4 of the plate a chicken breast the size of a deck of cards, 1/4 whole grain (1/2 cup) and 1/2 veggies with delicious herb lemon sauce.

• The healthier dinner is just 400 calories. 

Dessert -

• Laugh with us as we make a funny demo putting too much ice cream in a big bowl.
  

• Then we show how to measure a 1/2 cup of low-fat ice cream into a beautiful footed glass with berries and a drizzle of chocolate sauce - beautiful - and half the calories.

• Compare a finger sized cookie (great indulgence idea) with a huge slice of cake.
