Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live – Socrates
Thousands of years before the obesity epidemic, Socrates offers advice about food, drink and it’s purpose. We realize we need food and water to survive in the most basic of ways, but how much is needed? Specifically, what constitutes a portion of food or drink versus a serving? I’m not talking about caloric needs, macronutrient ratios, or basal metabolic rates (though those are all worthy of individual topics). What makes a portion of food? Can you look at a plate and know you’re eating 2 servings of protein? The short answer is yes, with some practice.
