WITHOUT

I'm going to show you how to portion your meals without having to use a food scale. Just your eyes and a spoon. First thing you want to do is get a decently sized plate. Not too big, not too small. So, this is the plate beside my head. Then, you're going to divide your plate into two visually. In the first half, you are going to divide that half into two again. So, one quarter of the plate should basically be your carbs. On the second quarter of the plate, you are going to add your protein. Now, on the second half of the plate, you want to fill that whole half of the plate as best as you can. I have some carrots here, but my veggies are not a lot. So I'm just going to let it fill as best as it can. This is what that looks like. One quarter is your carbs, another quarter is your protein, and half of your plate is your veggies. You should definitely be tracking your food so you have an idea of what one portion should look like. But in the event where you don't have a food scale on hand and you need to eat, for example, at a party or a potluck, this is a great way to visually portion your meals.
