One of the keys to maintaining weight and staying healthy is portion control, but serving sizes can be rather vague and a pain to measure exactly. Instead of breaking out the scales and cups, compare food to real world objects like in this handy illustration.We’ve mentioned using visual cues to measure serving sizes before, but the diagram above lays it out very clearly. It’s easy to remember now to spread a pat of butter into a postage-stamp square on a piece of toast, for example.

And an ice cream scoop of pasta? That’s what like a tablespoon and a half? As a whole serving? What maybe if you weigh 40kgs!
