Portion Guide

There's a portion guide that is always with you, that's easy to use and isn't embarrassing to pull out at restaurants. It's your hand! Simply looking at your hand can help you determine the right amount to eat. For example:

• Your palm = about 3 ounces of cooked meat or fish

• Your fist = about 1 cup of cooked rice or pasta, cut vegetables or fruit

• Your thumb = about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, or 1 ounce of cheese

• The tip of your thumb = about 1 teaspoon of oil or butter

• Three fingers = about 1 ounce of chocolate

• A handful = about 1 ounce of nuts
