Serving sizes

How do you determine the serving size for different people? I am cooking for 5 people with different sizes, ages and weight loss requirements in my household. Thanks!

Hi, hmae. Just list the following information for the other people:
Gender, age, height, weight, physical activity level. I will get back to you here with their recommended portions relative to yours.

Thanks so much!

There are 4 adults and one 2 year old who eats everything we eat.

male, 61, 6’3″, 310 pounds, minimal activity; he walks with a cane around the house; otherwise he is in a motorized wheelchair.
female, 61, 5’4″, 195 pounds, low activity level (neuropathy in both legs & feet from chemo)
female, 34, 5′ 7″, 275 pounds, low/medium activity level (works from home, chases 2 year old 🙂 )
male, 27,5’11”, 275 pounds, low/medium activity level

We all would like to be more active.

Hi, hmae. Thanks very much for those details. The younger mother needs about 10% more than you, and the two men about 20% more.
Additionally, I encourage all of you to check out the exercise videos posted toward the bottom of each “odd-numbered” week in our eight-week program (enter here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/sbs/standard-guide/week-1/, then proceed to weeks 3, 5, and 7), as well as the following links to some of our other videos for ideas on how to exercise when pressed for time or comfort:

This is incredible! Thanks for the clear “path” and how to do this with my whole household. I hope to get us all on board and started within a week or so.
