Workout and weight loss on wheels- portions

One crucial step to losing weight is regulating portion. Below are some guidelines: Grains 6-11 servings (1 slice bread 1/2 bagel or bun 1/2c cereal) fruits & veggies 5-9 servings (1/2c raw, 1/4c dried) 6oz juice), 1c raw 1/2c cooked proteins 2-3 servings (2-3oz meat 1/2c beans 2 T nuts)(1oz cheese, 1 c milk) fat 1 tsp Other tips don't skip meals, measure & weigh food, know serving size vs. portion size, 3oz meat is the size of a deck of cards, eat salad and 1/2 meal if at a restaurant, drink glass of water before eating, eat before 7pm. Understanding calories is crucial to losing weight; your caloric intake should be less than the amount of calories you burn. We should take in 1500-1800 calories a week; see "fitwatch" for a precise calculation. We should eat 50% carbs daily; 30% protein; 20% fats. Experts suggest that we eat 5x daily 3 meals 2 snacks
