What My Lunch Looks Like This Week

This is what lunch looks like this week. I was struggling with getting back on track when I returned home from vacation. Danielle sat down with me and helped me figure out what to eat this week to get me back on track.

One of the things I’m seeing is that eye-balling and guessing what 3 ounces is, and weighing it…well, WOW! I’ll show you a comparison shortly of what was happening.

While we may hear that a piece of chicken will be about the size of your palm, thickness isn’t accounted for. So in your brain, I was saying, well this is “ABOUT” the right size. Guess what? I was wrong! My portions were too large. I need to actually weigh and measure my foods.

Approximating was leaving me eating too much, and my portion sizes weren’t spot on. Some were better than others, but what a difference a scale makes.
