Well, this "portion" or "serving" stuff is just crazy. If a serving is half an apple, what do you do with the other half? In the morning I generally have a large glass of low sodium V8 with 2 olives stuffed with garlic cut up in the juice. But a "serving" of olives is 1.5 olives. Does anybody ever eat just 1.5 olives? What do you do with the other .5? I suppose you could save it for tomorrow - it would keep.
As far as I am concerned, a serving is however much you eat until you don't want any more.
My grandmother was told by her doctor to eat half a banana every day. She was very frugal, and did not know what to do with the other half. Finally, she decided just to walk to the back of her large lot and leave the other half for the birds. I really do not think that she would have been hurt by eating the whole banana, or by just eating one every other day. She lived to be 99 years old, after all. Well, maybe it was the half banana, who knows?
