PORTION CONTROL

ALL YOU NEED TO REGULATE YOUR MACRONUTRIENTS IS A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS

FOR PROTEIN: PALMS

For protein-dense foods such as meat, eggs, fish and beans, your recommendation is two palmsized portions with each meal.

FOR VEGETABLES: FISTS

Colourful veg such as broccoli, carrots, spinach and salad should take up most of your plate. Your minimum is two fists per meal.

FOR FATS: THUMBS

Your fat intake should come from healthy sources such as almonds, avocados and nut butter. Eat just less than two thumb-sized servings per meal.

FOR CARBS: CUPPED HANDS

For carb-dense foods – grains, fruit or starchy vegetables – limit them to a pair of cupped hands.
