Page 98 - The Skinny On Your Diet Plan

For this to work you have to learn how many grams of each

macronutrient are in each portion according to the size of your own hand.

This is effective because (for the most part) our hand size is relatively
proportionate to the size of our stomach. I have included some information

for you to get started on using portion size as a method of measuring your
food if you determined this method is for you.

How do you know if this method works for your goals or lifestyle?

I’ll tell you this much, it’s great for:

1. People with busy, messy, complex lives. So basically

everyone. Compared to scales and tracking apps, hand
portions make it far easier to consistently gauge how much

you’re eating.

2. Most body composition goals. Unless you’re chasing
extreme results against a non-negotiable deadline—for

instance, you get paid for how your body looks or performs—

hand portions can get you where you want to go.

But it’s not so good for:

1. People with the most aggressive goals. Professional physique
athletes and models may need a more precise strategy. It’s the same

with athletes who need to cut weight or reach a specific body fat

percentage—such as in preparation for a UFC fight. Keep in mind:
These people are essentially being paid to eat this way. It’s part of

their job. And that comes with tradeoffs.

Everything you need to help you determine which method of measuring
your food is for you is included in the appendix. That’s all for portions.
