Here’s today’s bite-sized Hands-On Nutrition strategy!
Strategy #11: Get real with serving sizes!
Especially at fast food stops, restaurants, convenience stores, and movie theaters, avoid the temptation of “value meals” or “Big Gulp” sodas that may seem like a savings, but are just adding calories from sugar and fat. Show kids how much sugar is actually in a 42-ounce supersized soda—35 teaspoons!
When eating out, share meals or save what you don’t eat for the next day’s lunch.
