Description
Using hands to measure portions is a good approach for clients who don’t need specific amounts of foods or macronutrients.
Your hands are present with you at all times, and generally, they’re proportional to your body size so a useful and convenient tool to gauge portion size.
Calculations done by Precision Nutrition show that hand portions are about 95% as accurate as carefully weighing, measuring, and tracking your food. With substantially less effort and time involved.
