The first of three podcast episodes on food portions! To kick us off we have Ashleigh Jones, Nutrition & Health Manager at Lite n’ Easy to give us the facts when it comes to food portions and how to go about portion control (something we could all use a little help with).

We cover:

  • Portions, serve size, serving - what do they all mean?
  • Where Australians go wrong with portion control
  • Does portion control matter when consuming healthy foods?
  • What role does the food industry play when it comes to portion control?
  • What role does portion control play with weight loss & weight maintenance?
  • Nutrition criteria Light n’ Easy follow when designing new products
  • Ashleigh’s top 3 tips on choosing the right food portions for you

One-liners you don’t want to miss:

“Hyperpalatable snack foods, if you are eating these straight from the packet, which a lot of us are guilty of, you lose track really quickly.”

“ It is up to food manufacturers on what the serving size actually is. It is great to work for a company who is ethical and transparent with how they do things. It would be easy to be a bit sneakier I guess if the company didn’t have the same values.”

“If in doubt measure it out. What I mean by that is if you’re not sure how much cereal or chips, what a serving of vegetable is, it is actually a really good idea to get out the measure cups or the scale (and I am not saying to do this all the time as this wouldn’t be healthy)...”
