Does anyone know of a visual aid I can print off the web to hang in my kitchen for a quick glance as to what is a portion? I feel this would help in portion control.
Thanks Donna
I’m not sure where to find such a guide but a general rule of thumb is a protein portion is about the size of a deck of cards. A small apple is smaller than your fist. A tablespoon would fit in your palm if you scrunched it up like you were going to drink some water from your hand. A tsp is about a large thumbprint. Does that help at all??
