Dealing with large Portions

Food grows. The Americans are grows, too, according to recent statistics. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes explodes. Is there a correlation? As it seems to me.


When I was a child in the 1960s, a muffin is a small case, usually home baked in the oven. A muffin House blueberry, a step size regular muffins, is about 100 calories and 6 grams of fat, according to the recipe. It's the size of a tennis ball.


In 1990, I was catering home and cooking for farmer's markets. I remember when the "Texas" size muffins are out. To compete in the bakery sector, I had to upgrade my muffins from regular to the size of Texas. " Suddenly, my recipes for 12 muffins were only six. But I felt the pressure to make larger muffins, because other bakers have had great success selling it. And, other bakers were trying to compete with grocery stores and cafés-restaurants, which were also larger muffins. Therefore, my 100 calories, 6 grams of fat muffins becomes 200 calories, 12 gram fat muffins virtually overnight.


Shortly after, I left the catering business to pursue a career in nursing. But I still noticed the tendency to the largest and the biggest bakery products. Bagels grow twice their size. Cookies have been literally become Frisbees. Individual portions of brownies and cakes were expanding the size of the bricks.


Why is this happening? Maybe it's a way to capture consumers. If the muffin is a good value for price, people will buy. More bang for the buck. The danger is that oversized portions begin to be normal for us. And we feel compelled to finish what we buy, so us don't waste money. We feel that we should be able to complete a huge muffin because it is marketed as a single serving.


Take a look at the calories and fat in the portions of food we buy can be a reality and help us to assess whether this huge muffin or brownie slab is half the number of calories and fat we are supposed to eat for a whole day.


A muffin blueberry in a café of the famous bakery café can be as much as 510 calories and 19 grams of fat. I saw giant muffins in grocery stores that have 28 grams of fat. For people watching their weight, which can affect their diet.


What can we do to help our health? How to combat the giant muffin? The easiest way to stay on track in good health is to know the number of calories and fat are the portions we buy and eat. Keeping track each day can help us to eat does not so much. Divide this muffin with a friend... or perhaps two.
