Getting Started with Portions & Choosing Foods
For more information about using hand portions and foods with protein, carbs, and fat, here are two articles with great visual examples from Precision Nutrition:

Ready to have this information in mind next time you go to the grocery store or spend some time meal prepping for the week? I love the grocery shopping graphic and tips in this article from Weighing Against Gravity.
