Portions!! How Much Is Too Much......

I'm always wondering if what I eat is similar to what other people eat?  We talk about portions; but, how much is too much in order to lose weight.  Of course it's all related to exercise, and metabolism; so, everyone is going to be different.  But, I look at the grocery carts of bigger people and, WOW...eye opener.  Do they really eat all that.......I wonder.  Then I see really thin fit people and wonder, what do they eat on a daily basis? 


I know that I eat whole foods, no artificial junk, and I try to control my trigger, ice cream.  I don't think I eat too much but........hmmmmmmmmmmm


Please share what you would consider your BEST day of healthy portioning.


Also, I found this visual portioning chart that I thought might be helpful...

I snack on small portions of course and that helps rev up the engine to burn the calories again.
For me the raisins are a good boost for me Julie.
