How do you portion out your food? Weight scales? Cups? Special Tupperware? An EASY way to live your life AND control your intake.
Active men do best with 6-8 servings of each food group per day (~2,300-3000 kcal).
Active women do best with 4-6 servings of each food group per day (~1,500-2,100 kcal).
Using that info, adjust your portions amount to meet your personal needs and goals.
REMEMBER, if you need MORE food because you:
1. Are larger in stature
2. Aren’t feeling satisfied at meals
3. Eat less frequently throughout the day
4. Are very active
5. Are trying to gain muscle
6. Aren’t seeing muscle gain results
Then begin the following:
Men = Add 1 cupped handful of carbs OR 1 thumb of fat to a few meals each day.
Women = Add 1/2 cupped handful of carbs OR 1/2 thumb of fat to a few meals each day.
IF you need LESS food because you:
1. Are smaller in stature
2. Are feeling too full at meals
3. Eat more frequently throughout the day
4. Are not very active
5. Are trying to lose weight
6. Aren’t seeing weight loss results
Then begin the following:
Men = Remove 1 cupped handful of carbs OR 1 thumb of fat from a few meals each day.
Women = Remove 1/2 cupped handful of carbs OR 1/2 thumb of fat from a few meals each day.
