[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 612356, member: 88961"] Johnboy - To be honest, once you have weighed things a few times, you'll soon know your portion size, by eye. Like many things, there's a bit more effort required until you get into the swing of things. I don't know whether it's been mentioned yet, but a number of people have bought a book called "Carbs and Cals", from Amazon: [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_12?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=carbs+and+cals&sprefix=carbs+and+ca%2Cstripbooks%2C253[/url] The book is designed[SIZE=3] to help understand portion size, and inform you of approximately how many carbs and calories the illustrated portion contains. It has pictures of various foodstuffs (allegedly the book is better than the app, and the full size book is better then the pocket sized) illustrating, on a plate, what might constitute 1 portion, 1.5 portions and so on. I don't have the book myself, but others swear by it.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
