Portion Distortion

Portion distortion: Know how much you're eating

I took the test and failed it miserably. The super sized bagel was the only one I got correct. I have been working out quite faithfully and loosing inches but no weight in a year. Over the weekend by daughter-in-law was being very conscious about her calories intake and when I asked her why, she said weight watchers. She is concerned about gaining the newlywed pounds. I was shocked when we started going over portion size and calories count. One of the things that shocked me was the points in a Quizno salad. I just had one of their little salads and thought it was very healthy. Wrong is was equal to 27 points. 2 points over my allotted average for the day. Since I failed the Portion distortion quiz I am concerned that my lack of weight loss despite daily exercise has to do with portion size. So this week I started looking at portion size and mindless nibbling. I will keep you posted.
