This document provides information about portion distortion over the past 20 years and how larger portions can lead to excess calorie intake. It shows examples of how portions have increased for various foods like bagels, spaghetti, hamburgers, sodas, and cookies. For each food item, it estimates the additional calories consumed and the amount of physical activity needed to burn off those extra calories.

32 Food Myths That You Need to Stop Believing TodayMealime
Every day, it seems that there's a new "superfood" on the block promoting unique weight loss and health benefits.
And many times every day, a new nutrition article is published regurgitating food myths that have long since been proven false by science.
It's a sad truth that nutrition news is filled with blatantly false information despite scientific consensus. So we went in search of the most repeated food myths that still persist today in spite of evidence proving the opposite.
Our research uncovered 32 food myths that appear time and time again.
We still believed many of these myths until we learned the data-supported positions of scientists around the world.
We learned that it's incredibly important to approach nutrition news with an attitude of suspending beliefs until data can back them up (or refute them).
So look for the data we did...
This list of food and nutrition myths is far from comprehensive, but I'm sure many of them will surprise you. We're hoping that you'll consider the myths here, do your own research, and come to your own, data-driven conclusions.
After all, that's what knowledge is all about.
Let's get to the food myths.
We make high-quality products, backed by science and research, in accordance with our Seed to Feed philosophy and strict regulations. From the cultivation of source ingredients to the final delivery of product to consumers, a commitment to quality and traceability is at the heart of everything we do.

Depression affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. It causes mental anguish and impacts on people’s ability to carry out even the simplest everyday tasks, with sometimes devastating consequences for relationships with family and friends and the ability to earn a living. At worst, depression can lead to suicide, now the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year olds.
Unfortunately, there's no specific diet that's been proven to relieve depression. Still, while certain eating plans or foods may not ease your symptoms or put you instantly in a better mood, a healthy diet may help as part of your overall treatment

88. Be an able label reader
Check the size
and number of
servings … if
you drank this
entire 20 oz.
beverage, you
would consume
250 calories!
100 calories x 2.5 servings = 250 calories

Editor's Notes
As one example, Dr. Wansink gave away five-day-old popcorn to moviegoers.Some people receivedenormous buckets while other received smaller ones. Both sizes held more popcorn than a typical person could finish.Yet when the buckets were weighed after the movie, those with the bigger buckets ate an average of 53 percent more.
If you downsize your portion size and feel a smaller portion looks too small … serve it on a smaller plate so it looks larger. Note the difference in the appearance of one cup of cereal when a smaller bowl is used. Using a smaller plate or bowl also can help you eat less according to research by Professors Brian Wansink and Koert van Ittersum. Larger plates can make a serving of food appear smaller. For example, in a study conducted at a health and fitness camp, campers given larger bowls consumed 16% more cereal than those given smaller bowls. Their estimates, however, were 7% lower than the estimates of those eating from the smaller bowls.
The Nutrition Facts label on this 20-oz. beverage bottle it lists the number of calories in an 8-oz. serving (100) even though the bottle contains 20 oz. or 2.5 servings. To figure out how many calories are in the whole bottle, you need to multiply the number of calories in one serving by the number of servings in the bottle (100 x 2.5). You can see that the contents of the entire bottle actually contain 250 calories even though what the label calls a "serving" only contains 100.
