British Nutrition Foundation lends some help on using your hands to determine a healthy portion

The new guide from the British Nutrition Foundation has been created after studying portion sizes around the world and what is available in UK supermarkets.

It is thought that better portion control could lead to people being healthier - taking pressure off the NHS. It could also save customers money and it would be better for the environment as less food would be wasted.

 

The campaign is called 'Find Your Balance: Get Portion Wise' and can be viewed from www.nutrition.org.uk/healthyliving/find-your-balance/portionwise.html as part of the campaign new booklets and information have been published, see below.

 

A simple video available from the BBC explains more about the approach for measuring, cooking and eating the right amount of foods.
