For a lot of people, portion sizing is a difficult thing to eyeball accurately. For instance, the portion size of a nice, juicy steak around 8 oz is what most of us consume, when in reality it’s about 3 oz – or the size of a regular playing card. The rest of the plate is to be filled with low-calorie but nutrient-dense foods.
When beginning a weight loss eating plan, I highly suggest investing in a good quality digital scale. You can find one on Amazon, which is where I found mine. What you may want to look for is the ability to switch between grams & ounces, depending on your logging system, which is the next step.
After you’ve gotten your scale, you need to decide what type of logging system you’re going to use – digital or paper. There are many sources for each. I like to log mine digitally using the MyFitnessPal app on my phone or its corresponding website. It’s a free program that will help you to determine how many calories and macros you need daily to reach your goal.
