Portion Well Initiative

Take Action to Right-Size Your Portions

Dinner plates have increased by 33% since 1960 from 9 inches to 12 inches.
92% of all restaurant meals (not just fast foods) have too many calories.
A restaurant meal averages 1205 calories, 2 times the recommended calorie count per meal.

Find new ways other than food to reward yourself and loved ones.
