In advance of this week's meeting...

I found some real neat links on portion sizes.

This first image has a bunch of great rules of thumb on how to eyeball portion sizes.



Click on it to make it bigger, because at least on my netbook screen, it's an eye chart! Anyway, a lot of these are familiar to us at Weight Watchers. I did, however, laugh at the comparison on the egg. One egg is equivalent to one egg? YOU DON'T SAY.

This next link is from New York City and has a neat little visual on how portions have changed over the years. Remember when we could buy 8 ounce sodas?
