Portion sizes should be based on your hand size. Remember, children have smaller hands than you. You can use their hand size to work out how much of each food group they need at a meal.

🍞Carbohydrate portions should be the size of their palm
🍏Fruit portions should be the size of a cupped palm, veg should be 2 cupped palms
🐟Meat and fish portions should be the size of their hand. For red meat, half the size of their hand
🧀For butter, a portion is one fingertip and for cheese, two fingers

By ensuring our portion sizes are correct, we can ensure we are getting the nutrients we need to grow healthily.

Try using this method next time you are serving a meal.
