How it works
This uses Precision Nutrition’s hand-portion method: a palm of protein, a fist of vegetables, a cupped hand of carbs and a thumb of fats. Men start with about two of each a meal, women about one.
A palm is roughly 20 to 30 g of protein, a cupped hand 20 to 30 g of carbs, a thumb 7 to 12 g of fat. It’s a starting point you adjust, not a precise count.
