Weighing with the eyes


You don't need to weigh the food! You can identify by sight the size of the
portions.
. Your closed hand = size of 1 medium fruit, 1 medium potato, or 1 cup of
foods.
. Your palm (without the fingers) = size of 1 portion of steak or fillet
chicken.
. Your whole hand (palm of the hand plus fingers) = 1 fish fillet.
. Your thumb tip = 1 tablespoon (tbsp).
. Your fingertip = 1 teaspoon (cc).
. 1 slice = the one that can be obtained in the cold cuts and dairy section of the supermarket.
. 1 medium slice = 0.5 cm (cut at home).
. 1 thick slice = 1 cm (cut at home).

Equivalences of measurements
1 cc = teaspoon = 5 ml
1 tbsp = tablespoon = 15 ml.
1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 240 ml.
Use your common sense!
Remember, 'average' does not mean 'thick'; 'thin' does not mean 'average'.
