My DH and I were just discussing this the other day, haha. I started randomly measuring different things as I serve them, just to see how accurate the serving sizes I pick are. I actually find that I choose a larger serving size than what I eat. For example- 2 tbsp of cream cheese is a lot more than you think! And I always assumed I was eating a cup or more of rice as a serving and it's closer to 1/4-1/3 cup. Very eye opening.

Yes I find lots of people either over or underestimate what they eat - serv. size with pasta is freakishly small and I have realized I actually eat like 5 servings of pasta normally. :p

:agree: totally. Some things I rarely eat the whole serving (peanut butter is another thing the serving size is just way more than I tend to eat) but then other things I look at it and wonder who the heck eats that little.
