Thank you. I just feel so sad over this. Today - with what I made for lunch - a lot of people wouldn't think that 3 ounces of chicken is a lot of food and on its own, it isn't. But if I add two ounces of shredded low fat cheese, by weight, fills up a six ounce bowl, by looks. So it's a lot more than I care to eat. But I have a portion size thing I have to go by and this is what makes it difficult. Where does five ounces of sugar-free jello fall in this? It's neither a protein, a fruit, a veggie, a whole grain or a healthy fat.
I'm allowed:
7 servings of protein. 1 oz = 1 serving.
3 servings of dairy. They give examples that go from 1 cup of skim milk (yuck) to 1 ounce of fat free cheese.
2 servings of fruits. A serving is the size of a tennis ball.
2 servings of veggies. 1/2 cup cooked is a serving. 1 cup raw is a serving.
3 servings of whole grains. I don't eat bread. I'm not a fan of it. This one's gonna be challenging.
2 servings of healthy fats. 1/8 avocado is a serving. Who only eats a sliver of an avocado?
I need help.
