We know that trying to figure out portion sizes can be a bit daunting. You may have heard that one serving of chicken is 3oz, but what exactly does that look like? Now, if you knew that 3oz of chicken is about the size of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand, that’s a lot easier to visualize, right?

Here’s an easy way to use common objects and even your own hand to determine common portion sizes.

1 oz. =  4 Dice                

1 oz.  =  1 Thumb

1 tsp. =    1 Thumb Tip

3 oz. = 1 Deck of Cards /Palm of Hand

1/4 Cup = 1 Golf Ball

1 Cup = 1 Fist
