Fit Tip…Never Count Calories Again!

We aren’t fans of calorie counting and don’t believe you have to count every calorie and macronutrient to be successful. In fact, the most successful people never do this. Instead, they use a system from Precision Nutrition to quickly and easily balance their meals and keep their portions in check.

Your hand is the perfect tool for measuring food and nutrients.

Here is how it works.

  • 1 serving of protein = 1 palm
  • 1 serving of vegetables = 1 fist
  • 1 serving of carbs = 1 cupped hand
  • 1 serving of fats = 1 thumb

So how do you apply this trick to make a meal?

For Men:

  • 2 palm-sized portions of protein at each meal.
  • 2 fist-sized portions of vegetables at each meal.
  • 2 cupped-hand sized portions of carbohydrates at each meal.
  • 2 thumb-sized portions of fat at each meal.

For Women:

  • 1 palm-sized portions of protein at each meal.
  • 1 fist-sized portions of vegetables at each meal.
  • 1 cupped-hand sized portions of carbohydrates at each meal.
  • 1 thumb-sized portions of fat at each meal.
