Portion size is a huge issue in weight loss especially eating out. Use you hand to guide your portion sizes. Also, when you order your food, ask your waiter for a doggie bag ahead of the time, so you can put your extra portion of food in the container so you don't over eat. It might feel funny to ask that but this is your life and health, NEVER feel embarrass asking.
Remember:
• OPEN HANDFUL - about 1 cup of food
• TIGHT FIST - about 1/2 cup or 1 carb choice
• FINGERS - about 4 cards per meal
• PALM - about 3 or 5 oz. protein
• THUMB - about 1 Tablespoon
• THUMB TIP - about 1 teaspoon
