Since I've started my lifestyle change, I've been eating nothing but the recommended serving sizes of everything. What I was wondering was, is this what you're supposed to be doing? Are there some things that you should eat more of? Or, maybe less of?



ps. I have a lot of questions so, you'll probably see me around quite often. :flowerforyou:

    I think it depends on the food, really. I believe "serving size" is just a unit of measurement. For example, when I make a salad, I'll use 1.5 servings of arugula (serving is 2 cups) and 1 serving of sliced turkey. I LOVE red peppers, so I'll do two servings, because I know they're low in calories. I think it just depends on how many calories, fats, carbs, etc you still need to finish the day.

    it depends on you, personally i am here for a lifestyle change & not just to lose weight or tone up (though i deff want that too!) so sometimes i want more than what a serving size it & sometimes i want to eat crap like fast food, so i find a way to fit it into my daily goals even if it means an extra workout or eating less of something else during my days :o)
