To maintain a healthy weight, it is important to control the amount of food you eat. The American Precision Nutrition Agency has launched a simple and easy-to-use "New Guide to Controlling Food Calories with Both Hands". The guideline points out that hand size is closely related to body size, muscles and bones. Therefore, each person's hands are actually the best "measuring instruments" for their personalized food intake. 1. Protein: The amount of protein per meal for men and women is 2 and 1 palm respectively. The amount should be commensurate with the size and thickness of the palm (Figure ①). Including meat, fish, eggs, dairy products and beans. 2. Vegetables: The amount of vegetables that men and women should consume per meal is 2 and 1 fist respectively. The thickness and diameter of the vegetables should be comparable to that of a fist (Figure ②). Including broccoli, spinach, lettuce, carrots, etc. 3. Carbohydrates: The intake per meal for men and women is one handful and half a handful respectively (Figure ③). Including cereal foods, starchy foods, etc. 4. Fat: The amount of fat intake per meal for men and women is 2 thumbs and 1 thumb respectively (Figure ④). Includes edible vegetable oils, butter, nut oils and plant seeds. |
