Examples in sizes

Meal on a typical sized dinner plate. One sandwich, one serving of carrots, and an apple. See how the plate still looks empty.



Same meal as above but on a salad plate. Notice how your meal looks bigger and like you have lots of food yet it's the same as above.



Two glasses with orange juice. Each glass contains 8 oz of juice which is what one serving size is with the juice I used as an example. The glass on the left looks only half full yet the glass on the right is almost to the top. Each serving of this orange juice is 110 calories so just by filling the cup on the left up you would be drinking at least 220 calories.
