We are working on our Portion Control DVD and wanted to present a few of the photos taken from the snacking section.
We measured 150 calories of chips, cheese puffs and mini cookies and then compared those with 150 calories of carrots, grapes and berries. It is amazing at how much MORE you get to eat with the fruits and veggies.
The final platter of mixed fruits and veggies with a 1/2 serving of favorite whole wheat crackers would make 2 large servings at just 90 calories each, far more food, and far fewer calories than a measly ounce of potato chips.
Our best lesson: Don't let the food manufacturer determine your servings! The second photo of all the snack foods show packages that look like one serving but are 2.5 to 4 servings each. The large chocolate bar is 3 servings or 600 calories total!
Judy’s passion for cooking began with helping her grandmother make raisin oatmeal for breakfast. From there she earned her first food service job at 15, was accepted to the world famous Culinary Institute of America at 18 (where she graduated second in her class), and went on to the Fachschule Richemont in Switzerland where she focused on pastry arts and baking. But after learning that the quality of a croissant directly varies with how much butter it has, Judy sought to challenge herself by coming up with recipes that were as healthy as they were tasty.
Judy received The Culinary Institute of America’s Pro Chef II certification, the American Culinary Federation Bronze Medal, Gold Medal, and ACF Chef of the Year. Her enthusiasm for eating nutritiously and deliciously leads her to constantly innovate and use the latest in nutritional science to guide her creativity, from putting new twists on fajitas to adapting Italian brownies to include ingredients like toasted nuts and cooked honey. Judy’s publishing company, Food and Health Communications, is dedicated to her vision that everyone can make food that tastes as good as it is for you.
