Fruit loops

Ever wonder what a single (read: healthy) portion of fruit looks like? This handy chart takes away the guess work. Fruit, while being great for you, should (like any other food) be eaten in proper portion sizes. The more reasonable we are with our portion control across the board, the better eaters (and the healthier) we become — no matter what we happen to be munching on. So take a moment to review the chart and then continue to make the kind of eating choices that add to your health, rather than detract from it.

    “Crack out!” LOL! Approximately 1 cup of raw raspberries equates to one healthy portion size, Nikki. Raspberries make a great snacking choice. According to http://nutritiondata.self.com/ — very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. They are also a great source of Vitamin K and Magnesium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C and Manganese even though A large portion of the calories in Raspberries come from sugars.
