The Mealsizer is easy to use. The Mealsizer consists of four different measures. These
you should fill with food and you get just the right portion size.
The green measure is for vegetables and root crops and here you put fresh vegetables as
salad for your supper but it can also be the vegetables that you have roasted, cooked or
stired. It is good to vary -- eat many different kinds of vegetables and root crops.
The orange measure is for carbohydrate-rich foods. The group includes potatoes, pasta,
rice, quinoa, bulgur, or grain. Feel free to choose whole grains. In this measure, you
can also put bread when you are having salad -- you might eat a cheese and ham salad and
bread is the carbohydrate source in this meal.
The blue measure is for protein-rich foods. This includes all types of meat, minced meat
dishes, sausages. Fish -- everything from salmon fillet to fish sticks. You also put
chicken or turkey here or you may have vegetarian options such as quorn or soya. Here, you may
have to divide the meat or sausage to make it fit so you'll see that it is just the right
amount.
The yellow measure is for sauce. Use it when you eat sauce with your meal and the use it
for all different types of sauces.
When you have filled the measures with food — and you fill it up to the rim and do not
add food in the shafts. The only measure you get to overfill is the vegetable measure.
Fill up to the rim, put on your plate and you have a normal portion size.
The times you eat a composite dish, you might have lasagna, then you can use the vegetable
measure and then you have a space on the plate for your lasagna portion.
And now you can enjoy your meal!
