how many times have we read in the diets the number of servings of food we take, and we have not known what exact amount nutritionists refer to the word ‘serving’? Do not know about you, but I spent several times, so I’ve decided to compile a list of the types of food and rations and its equivalent in grams. For everyone to understand.
Fruits: a much-needed food, which we always say we take 3 servings a day. Well, one serving of fruit is usually equal to about 170 or 180 grams, that is, a medium piece.
Vegetables: with each serving of vegetables diet advise us; know that a dish is equivalent to about 140 or 150 grams.
Carbon idratos: this measure in grams is more difficult, since it depends entirely on what type of carbohydrate we consume. Nutrition experts advise from 4 to 6 servings of carbohydrates which, for example, equivalent to two slices of bread (30 to 60 g), a normal potato (200 g) rice 3 tablespoons (60 grams) 6 tablespoons of macaroni or spaghetti (60 g), or 6 tablespoons of vegetables (90 g).
Meat, cheese, eggs and fish: A serving of meat is about 120 or 130 gr (always lean, healthier) to 140 or 160 g of fish, 2 eggs and a piece of cheese between 60 and 80 grams.
Dairy: one serving of dairy (milk and yogurt), equivalent to drinking a glass of milk 200 g, or 2 yogurt, 250 grams.
Fats: the experts recommend 4 to 6 servings, especially olive oil and nuts. A serving is a tablespoon of oil, 10 grams, and also amounts to 16 grams of nuts.
