Your Hand, The Perfect Measuring Tool 
Counting calories can be helpful for some 
individuals but for the majority of people, it is a 
frustrating, difficult, inaccurate and 
unsustainable process. For longterm success, it 
would be much easier to start out by measuring 
your food with something that is always with 
you and is easy to use. At least I hope it is 
always with you :) That's right your hand. 
It is the perfect measuring tool because it is 
always with you and depending on how large or 
small your hand is, it can tell you approximately 
how much to eat. While its not a perfect 
measurement, it is a great starting point. Try 
making your meals based on the size of your 
hand as described below. This is based on eating 
4 times per day. As with any nutrition plan, 
adjust your portion sizes based on your results 
and goals.
