HOW MUCH FOOD? SIMPLE PORTION CONTROL!

It's easy to get caught up in the numbers and exact quantities when trying to get your eating in control.  But when you're on the go, you can't quite carry measuring cups.  Here is a  quick guide from Precision Nutrition, an online nutrition coaching company, that could help you determine how much of each food type you need on your plate.

• 1 palm of protein (fish, chicken, beef, etc)
• 1 fist of vegetables
• 1 cupped hand of carb dense foods if extra carbs are needed (rice, pasta)
• 1 thumb of fat dense foods (nuts, avocado, oils)
