"Humble" is like holding one's self in low regard, and "Modest" is like not going over what your abilities are. Hopefully, someone will have an even better explanation for this great question. But this is how I perceive it.

I want to give an example in a sentence! 1) " You are very modest with your portion sizes". 2) " You are very humble to have me go first ".
