I have this project about Exercise the Nutrition Label and Portions. On the desk where my project is, I have to put some decorations that pertain to my project. So far I think I will put a fruit/vegetable basket and some sweat bands for exercise. Do you know any household items I could put around my project?? I need some more things to put around the table!!! Please help! Thanks

If you have a food scale, you could use one of those.
If not, I bet you have some measuring cups/spoons in the house. Since most portions are measured out using measuring cups, this would be appropriate.
There are some other objects which are often used to represent portion sizes:
A tennis ball represents a serving of fruits or vegetables.
A deck of cards represents a 3-oz serving of meat.
A hockey puck (about the size of half a bagel) represents a serving of grains.
If exercise is also a focus of your presentation, the tennis ball and hockey puck will double as symbols of food portions as well as exercise.
The way you've written the title however (with no punctuation), it looks as if "Exercise the Nutrition Label and Portions" means to Use the Nutrition Label and Portions. If that's the case, then you just need to focus on the food and portion items.

Maybe an inexpensive food scale, a sports waterbottle, stuff like that. If you can't find the food scale, you could also just put out measuring cups.
Or... you could put out the various household items that dieticians use to tell us what size our portions should be. For example, "sirloin steak, trimmed (100 grams of size of a deck of cards)." I forget all the other things like this, but I know they refer to other regular things like that.
Good luck!

My answers are art deluxe. I do this stuff for managing
employees for one of my jobs. COLOR is the power study of
these expos, and displays. Choose colors that are general.
Yellow, green, plums, flower shades. Also the topic is a very
important central theme. Always, always consider nutritional
value to your menu. Let me see what about these. Menu,
food toys like stuffed crab, lobster, fish,whale, cow, goat.
New clean environment symbols: baggies, wrappers, take-out
boxes, plastic spoons, cups, supersize cups with sponsors.
Did you ever think how much at home bags or cups would cost? There usage is possible due to their cost efficiency for
clean portions and servings. Maybe an ice cream sunday cup
with cover showing some kids re-use with baubles, and rings.
Important work, good idea. http://www.environmentfriends.com

how about dry cereal, or macaroni to represent grains or something? and then u can put on like... a picture of pillsbury doughboy or something for sweets, and candy wrappers and stuff w/ "do not eat" sign or something haha..
how about a plate that has divded portions to represent how large the protein, rice/grains and veggies should be? or draw w/ a marker on paper plate how large an actual 4 oz piece of meat should look, and then the average size of a meal, etc etc... u can also try running shoes, water bottle/gatorade, weights/dumbbells.....snacks? maybe healthy snacks like wheat thins? that could be cute.... or a few granola bars? vitamin bottle? orange juice carton? etc etc.. good luck!

What about bottles of water, and pictures of excersize equipment. You can probably go online and print out nutrition portion size charts and get a picture of the food pyramid also. Good Luck with your project.

Try decorative towels for use after excerise and some fruit drinks of nutrious type check labels, choose a very appealing table color color plays an important part in appeal.

How about taking a dinner plate and creating the "perfect meal" on it? Like the perfect portion of meat, veggies, etc?
Or, on one side of the table you could do "healthy foods" and on the other "unhealthy foods"

measuring cups, measuring spoons, a food weigher, spatula, whisk, bowls, plates
there is a list somewhere that tells you what to compare 'good portions' with like a serving of salamon should be about the size of a deck of cards......if you find the list and the comapre to items that could be cool.

you can also cut out the nutrition labels from healthy, and no healthy foods
