Can anyone refresh my memory on portion of meat size? I know it it the size of a deck of cards...but if you are weighing it is it 4oz? I think that is what I remember.

People can really identify with material things instead of weighing three ounces out or doing a measuring cup type of measuring of foods.

So if you use your visualizer, we have a whole handout that we utilize for our patients that we give out.

One ounce is a domino cube, you know, and most patients we say one to two ounces to begin with, work your way up to the three to four ounces.

Since WLS, I never eat more than 3 oz (FYI - 3 oz of turkey or chicken breast has less than 100 cal and about 24 g of protein!)
