One of the main reasons America struggles with obesity and weight problems is because Americans do not understand the concept of a serving size. American restaurants typically give their customers at least double the amount of food they should be getting for a meal. The serving sizes are huge and Americans act like they are just consuming what is on their plate. A few tricks I have learned when I go out to eat is to ask for a to go box right when you are given your food. Automatically put half of it away so you are not tempted to eat it. Then you can save it for lunch tomorrow and save yourself from eating double the amount of food you should be for a serving size. Here are a few examples of what an actual serving size is to get an idea in your head.
