The size ofportion of fruit or veg you should eat each day should be the size of your palm
Portion sizes for vegetables and sides are generally 1/2 cup each. The norm for meat is 4 ounces.
Portion size is the amount of food served per person per meal. The USDA has recommended serving sizes of various foods, and recommended servings per day. These are based on the average recommended daily allowance for various body weights and levels of activity. For grains/starches the RDA is 11 servings for 150 lb person. So a Portion size for a meal can range from 2 servings where 2 grains/starches are served, to 4 servings where only 1 grain/starch is served. For Dairy 1-2 servings often are a portion. For vegetables 2 servings typically are a portion, and the same for fruit. For meats a portion size is often 1 or 2 serving sizes. Most food packagers for single meal prepared foods try to match these USDA recommended portion sizes, but only post serving sizes as required by law. So that a complete meal for 1 person will have, often 3 -4 servings of starch, 1 dairy, 2 servings of vegetable 1-2 servings of meat and 2 servings of fruit. Very often Prepackaged meals are not complete and require the addition separately of 1 or two servings of dairy, grain, and or fruit. When serving food in a restaurant, most restaurants provide more than the estimated requirement, for portion sizes, often 2-4 servings of meat, and or dairy, 2-3 servings of vegetables, 4-6 servings of grains and separately 3-4 servings of fruits for menu items. Portion sizes are variable and are usually more than a single serving.
A serving size of meat is 3 oz, about the size of a deck of playing cards. The recommended number is 2 to 3 servings a day; and leaner meats are always favored.
If you are not hungry - why eat ? I am confused about your question. If you are looking to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet, then cut back on meats ( eat a portion about the size and thickness of the palm of your hand ) and make the balance of your meal vegetables.

The recommended size for what??!
I don't think they do supersize fries now. The nearest portion size to that would be large. In a large portion of McDonalds fries there are 500 calories.Answer #2:Although McDonald's discontinued Super Size French Fries in the United States, they are still available in Malaysia and Indonesia. They contain at least 600 calories per serving.
, ok hi Lasagna can range from any size. It depends on amount of servings in the whole lasagna. You should always look on the sides of boxes to see the serving sizes which will show you how much is recommended for you to eat, and how many calories and etc. is in that serving. Also see how many servings are per container. -Gaby
