Today's tip:
Wellness


Can you tell the difference between a portion of food and a serving of food? Servings are measured quantities of foods so that nutrients can be compared and contrasted, while portions can be any amount. For memory's sake, think of servings as standard sizes and portions as personal preferences.
- Linda Monahan, registered dietitian, WorkLife Programs
