Simplifying your food guide recommendations  

Use common sense when choosing how much food you need:
bullet

Stick to 3 meals/2 snacks a day - do NOT nibble all day.

bullet

Stop eating when you don't feel hungry anymore.

bullet

Always eat your vegetables first, then carbs, then proteins.

These recommendations are based on proportions relevant to our own body sizes.  A child's hand is much smaller than a parents hand and therefore their own little fist size will be appropriate for measuring how much a vegetable serving size is for them. This way everyone needs the same number of servings per day and you don't need to worry about memorizing 'serving sizes' for veggies, carbs, and proteins.
  Serving
Size		 How Many Servings Active
Adults/Youths
Vegetables/Fruits     The size of your fist 5 - 6 6 - 8 Servings
Carbohydrates     Your flat out hand 4 - 5 7 - 8 servings
Protein     The size of your palm 2 - 3 2 - 3 servings
Fats     1 tablespoon 1 - 3 tablespoons 2 - 3 tablespoons
