Portion Sizes

Well at this stage of your fitness journey you should have a clear

understanding regarding healthy food choices. However most

people do not know how much to eat, or how often. So I will provide

some essential information that can be helpful. First you should be

eating every 2 to 3 hours. Portion sizes are different when it pertains

to gender so I will start with the Ladies first.


For women: protein -1 palm = 3 oz

veggies -1 fist= 1 cup

carbs - 1 cupped handful =1/2 cup

fat-1 thumb =1 0z.


For men: protein-2 palms = 6oz.

veggies-2 fist= 2 cups

carbs- 2 cupped handfuls =1 cup

fat-2 thumbs= 2 oz.

Now there is one more important factor I would like to mention.

The portion sizes you select is contingent upon your individual

fitness goals. So for example if you were in a weight loss program

you may want to remove 1/2 of carbs like brown rice, and add more veggies.

And if you were trying to gain muscle you may add more protein or

fat.

These portion sizes should give you a solid foundation to start your meal

plan. Well I hope this was helpful. #CoachJackson
