#Podcast Epi 48: Portion Savvy
Did you know that 1 teaspoon of fat (butter, cream, oil, bacon, dressing, etc.) is ~45 calories? Instead of cutting foods out of your diet start with cutting down on your portions. 

If you cut 2 teaspoons of butter off your morning toast, 2t of dressing off your lunch salad, and 2t of butter off your dinner roll you could save ~270 calories. 

What ever your health goals, understanding proper portions and serving sizes makes eating a bit better easier. #dietitiancindy
