Celebrating Nutrition Month!

March is Nutrition Month and all month long we are spreading the word of Nutrition! Check out Dietitians of Canada’s Week 3 tips on Prioritizing Portion Size!

Set your table for portion-size success with these tips:

• Use smaller, lunch-sized plates and bowls for meals. You will eat less but still feel satisfied.
• Serve food, or have family members serve themselves, from the counter or the stove.
• Keep serving dishes of vegetables on the table. If you’re still hungry, eat second portions of veggies.
• Put large glasses of water on the table. You might even drink more water.
