@SanchezPam That was a good test to take. I am pleased with my score 6 out of 8. I am glad I know my calorie count thanks to my cousin who taught me well.

Hi all, VERY interesting! I think this article totally reminded me how we often misjudge portion sizes. Also, we usually underestimate how many calories are in the foods we eat. Spottedgurl, I agree with you; the crackers and cheese photo surprised me, too! Who thought only a few crackers and a single cheese slice made up about 150 calories? This article was a good reminder to read labels closely, and to be more mindful of your munching. If we can totally misjudge how much we're eating when it's spooned out on a plate, who KNOWS how much we're actually consuming when it's directly from the bag? That's my mom's trick right there--never eat out of the bag! A good tip is to spoon out a portion into a bowl or a plate right away, so you can better keep track of how much you're eating. :) I'll think about this again when I reach into my snack drawer at work tomorrow. I have Triscuits in there! :) Best, Lee @ customizingfitness.com
