How in the world do I estimate portion size???

Clients, friends, and family always claim to understand how to measure portion size.  It never fails, when it comes down to actually writing out a meal plan where portion size is necessary, the numbers are always off 9 times out of 10. I have devised a simple guide you can always refer back to as a cheat sheet of sorts. Enjoy and good eating!!!

Make sure you estimate and record the amount of each item (cups, ounces, slices, Tbsp, etc.). Use food labels and the following guidelines to help you estimate food amounts.

 

            Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese

1 ½ oz-wt of cheese                                     3 dominoes, 1 small hotel soap

1 wrapped slice, 1 ½ thumbs

            Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nuts

2-3 oz-wt of cooked meat                           a deck of cards, palm of your hand

3 oz-wt                                                                1 breast of chicken

2 oz-wt                                                                1 chicken thigh

½ cup of cooked dry beans                       regular light bulb, ice cream scoop,

½ baseball

2 Tbsp. of peanut butter                              golf ball

1/3 cup or 1 oz-wt of nuts                           a handful

            Vegetables

1 cup raw leafy vegetables                          4 whole lettuce leaves, baseball

½ cup of other vegetables,                          regular light bulb, ice cream scoop,

½ cup of chopped, cooked, canned fruit              regular light bulb, ice cream scoop

½ baseball

            Bread, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta

½ cup of cooked cereal, rice, pasta                       regular light bulb, ice cream scoop,

Jeff lost over 100 lbs in under a year, so can you!!!

It has been a long journey, however it just goes to show you that with dedication and motivation, the sky is the limit. Jeff had been training with me for several years when something just clicked one day. A new years resolution turned into a complete lifestyle change.

You may such a feat is impossible, well it isn’t a typical result, however the formula works.  Proper nutrition and 6 days of week of moderate to intense activity can take you from being at high-risk for numerous life threatening diseases, to being close to single digit body fat.

Personal training and small group training is the answer.
