Portion question

I'm now making the shift to more "regular" foods and have a question. I understand from the Barix nutritionists that the general portion guideline is 1/2 cup.

That works for chili, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, etc.

But...I also understand that the general portion guideline for chicken, fish, etc. is 2 oz. Does this mean that I would also have 2 oz. of a veggie with the chicken or fish? Or should I consider my portion of chicken or fish in terms of how it would fit into one of my little 1/2 cup measuring cups?

Hate to be such a linear thinker, but those little 1/2 cup Gladware cups have been invaluable! I just don't want to shortchange my protein grams!

I would say 1/2 cup food TOTAL at this point - so get your protein first then if there is room have the veggies. Even at 2 1/2 years out some days I have trouble with the 4oz of meat I "can" eat

to help me with this when I was out etc... I got these-

They have measurements on the side... so say if I was making pudding ... I could measure out 1/2 cup into the bowls and then when I needed a snack I could just grab it and go without worrying...

Also I would do 3oz of meat and 1 oz of veggie/fruit... but that early out I really didn't do veggies... didn't have room for them lol...

 

and you can always order those pampered chef things from me!!!

just sayin...
