Portion Distortion Sponsored by:
Eating smaller portions is one of the easiest ways to cut back on calories – but it can also be the most challenging Sponsored by:

Which Plate Did You Choose?
Buy a stack of regular “dinner-size” paper plates (8-10”) Buy a stack of small “dessert-size” paper plates (~ 6”) Set both stacks on a table when patients walk in; have them choose a plate but don’t tell them what it is for Make sure everyone has a pen, pencil, or marker

Look at Your Plate as a Pie Chart…
Please draw on your plate the amount of each food group you would eat: Protein Vegetables Complex Carbohydrates Ask your group of patients to draw on the plate how they would divide up the portions of the following food groups onto their plate for a meal: Protein Veggies Complex Carbs

Look at Your Plate as a Pie Chart…
Surgical Patients: Vegetables: ¼ to ½ Protein: ½ Complex Carbs: 1/8 to ¼ Use a smaller plate if portion size is difficult for you Non-Surgical Patients Vegetables: 2/3 to 1/2 Protein: 1/6 to 1/4 Complex Carbs: 1/6 to 1/4 Use a smaller plate if portion size is difficult for you Talk about pre-op (non-surgical) the plate is different from post-op and how you progress over time it converts more to pre-op/non-surgical as intake increases over time Fill-up on protein Eat lots of veggies Incorporate complex/healthy carbs (fruit, whole-grains, dairy, etc.)

What Is Being Served These Days?
Most meals eaten out these days are often enough for two or sometimes even three So, what can we do? Order kids meals Split with someone Take ½ or more home for another meal or two

What Is Wrong With This Picture?
As we age, our metabolism slows, often as well as their energy expenditure This means that you should try to consume less than you did when you were younger However, if you eat out often, you may be consuming more than you need A result of this process is often weight gain which can lead to an increased risk of many diseases Diseases such as CHF, CHD, stroke, cancers, DM, kidney failure, etc.

What Can You Do About This?
Split a meal with someone Box up half of meal as soon as it comes to the table for a later meal Order less – such as an appetizer as your entrée

When eating out… Choose a regular hamburger – save ~ 150 calories Have the small fries – save ~ 300 calories Order the fruit or veggie sub for fries – save ~ 500 calories Order water – save ~ calories

When eating at home… Don’t eat from the bag – portion it out Buy single portions of snack foods Use half the amount you usually do of condiments (sour cream, butter, mayo, cheese, cream cheese)

What Is A Normal Portion Size?
There are several ways to determine correct portion sizes: Use other objects to judge the correct size Learn the correct portion size and measure it out each meal Personally I think the first of the two is easier…

Objects – Grain Products
Fist = 1 cup of cereal flakes CD = 1 pancake or slice of bread ½ Baseball = ½ cup cooked rice, pasta, or potato Tennis ball = 1 cup cooked rice or pasta Bar of Soap = 1 piece of cornbread Computer mouse = 1 small baked potato Cupped hand = about 1-2 oz of pretzels Hockey puck = average bagel Cupcake wrapper = ½ cup cooked rice Nickel – 1 serving spaghetti (uncooked)

Objects – Vegetables and Fruit
Baseball = 1 cup of salad greens or 1 medium fruit ½ Baseball = ½ cup fresh fruit Large Egg = ¼ cup raisins Light bulb = grapes Average Woman’s Fist = 1 cup or 1 medium whole fruit

Objects – Dairy Products
4 stacked dice = 1 ½ oz of cheese ½ Baseball = ½ cup of ice cream or yogurt 4 dice or 1 domino = 1 oz cheese CD = slice of cheese

Objects – Protein Group
Deck of Cards = 3 oz meat, fish, or poultry The palm of your hand (without fingers) = 3 oz of cooked meat or poultry Checkbook = 3 oz grilled or baked fish Ping Pong Ball = 2 tbsp peanut butter Cupped hand = about 1-2 oz of nuts or pretzels

Objects – Miscellaneous Items
One die = 1 tsp butter, margarine, or spreads Golf ball = 2 tbsp peanut butter, jam, or salad dressing Packet of dental floss = 1 oz chocolate Thumb from knuckle joint up (man’s) = tsp to tbsp of PNB Whole thumb = 1 oz of cheese or meat Fingertip from joint up = about 1 tsp Stamp = 1 tsp butter or margarine

Actual Portion Sizes – Grains
Brown Rice, Oatmeal: ½ cup = 1 oz Popcorn: 3 cups = 1 oz WW Cereal Flakes: 1 cup = 1 oz WW Bread: 1 slice = 1 oz WW Crackers: 5 = 1oz Cornflakes: 1 cup = 1 oz Crackers (Saltines): 7 = 1 oz White Rice: 1 cup = 2 oz

Actual Portion Sizes – Vegetables
Raw Baby Spinach: 1 cup = ½ cup Broccoli: ½ cup = ½ cup Romaine Lettuce: 1 cup = ½ cup Baby Carrots: 1 cup = 1 cup Baked Sweet Potato: 1 large = 1 cup Cooked Pinto Beans: ½ cup = ½ cup veg OR 2 oz meat and beans Corn: ½ cup = ½ cup Baked Potato: 1 medium = 1 cup Green Beans, cooked: ½ cup = ½ cup

Actual Portion Sizes – Fruit
Banana: 1 large (8”) = 1 cup Grapes: 1 med bunch (~ 50) = 1 ½ cups Orange: 1 small = ½ cup OJ: ½ cup = ½ cup Raisins: ¼ cup = ½ cup Strawberries: ½ cup = ½ cup

Actual Portion Sizes – Dairy
Milk: 8 oz = 1 cup Yogurt: 8 oz = 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded: 1/3 cup = 1 cup Swiss Cheese: 2 slices (3/4 oz each) = 1 cup Chocolate Pudding (made with milk): ½ cup = ½ cup Frozen Yogurt: 1 small serving (1/2 cup) = ½ cup

Actual Portion Sizes – Meat & Beans
Ham: 6 thin slices = 2 oz Pork Chop: 4 oz cooked without bone = 4 oz Chicken Breast: 1 small half cooked = 3 oz Salmon: 8 oz cooked = 8 oz Shrimp: 7 medium = 2 oz cooked Almonds: 1 oz (~ 25) = 2 oz + 2 tsp oil Walnuts: 1 oz (~ 9) = 2 oz + 2 tsp oil

Think About Choices… Pasta vs. Potato (180 vs. 57 calories)
1 Medium Bunch Grapes (~ 50) vs. ¼ cup Raisins Fruit vs. Juice – more eating pleasure Milk vs. Coke – added nutrients Regular Bread vs. Light Bread Why would you choose foods that contain a lot of calories in a small portion size Also consider lower calorie options of foods (i.e. – low fat milk, light juice, light bread, etc.) Pasta & Potato – similar portion sizes but varied calorie difference. Potato probably has more nutrients too Grapes & Raisins – good demonstration: Have a serving size of grapes in a bag Have a serving size of raisins in a bag Obviously grapes look bigger and more filling Same food, just one is dehydrated Volumetrics = choose these type foods to fill full Fruit vs. Juice – same food group but very different nutritionally Plus feel fuller from eating solid food vs. drinking liquid Milk vs. Coke – same portion size is about the same calories (skim milk) However, milk has more nutrition (protein, Vit D, Calcium, etc.) While coke provides nothing Regular bread vs. light bread – get same portion size of for less calories if use light bread
