Dairy Foods

---

Milk, cheese and yogurt are in this group. They give you protein, vitamins and a lot of calcium. Eat two servings or more each day. One serving is considered to be:

• 8 ounce glass of milk. This is about the size of a coffee mug.

• 8 ounces of yogurt. This is the size of the typical container of yogurt at the store.

• Two slices of cheese, or two 1-inch cubes.

• One bowl of pudding or custard, the size of a cereal bowl.

• One and one half cups of ice cream. This would the amount in three scoops, or three ice cream bars.

Keep in mind that these are the minimum number of servings to eat each day. Only you know how much you need to eat to keep from losing weight. Because of the effect of HIV on our bodies, you may have to eat much more than usual to keep from losing weight.
