Regarding portion sizes I can SO relate. When I wanted to follow a Weight Watchers plan I was allowed a baked potato. This was a 3 oz portion. Well after a couple of weeks I got a scale and learned that I was actually eating 3 portions!


I think I remember the rule of thumb;

Thumb = portion of cheese
Palm = portion of meat or fish
Cup = a fist
1/2 cup = half cup

I think that was it.
