Would it surprise you if I told you my perception of serving sizes is skewed? The funny thing here is that this really isn't what you think. I can pretty carefully eye a portion of chicken or a serving of steak, but when it comes to estimating a helping of vegetables I'm woefully lacking.
So this meal I'm having for lunch today, it's a new one by Healthy Choice; this thing looked like it had maybe a quarter of a cup of vegetables:
Imagine my shock as I perused the back to read it supposedly contained 3/4's of a cup of vegetables.
Seriously?!?! 3/4's? Really?
Guess I like to have more than three bites of vegetables in my lunch.
But, truthfully, 3/4's of a cup?
In the grand scheme of things, it's better to get too many vegetables than not enough, right???
Okay, I fail at veggie serving sizes. Fail, Zan, fail. But I'm still happy about it.
