The amount of food you need every day from the four food groups and other foods depends on your age, gender, body size, how much physical activity you get and if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. This is why Canada’s Food Guide provides serving sizes for each food group.
Remember: (PDF) Portions are not servings. Just because something comes served as a portion (e.g. large glass, large bottle, restaurant plate) that doesn't mean it is a serving. If you get to know your serving sizes, it will be easier to keep your portions under control. Check out this video.
