When I started the program, I used the size of my fist to measure my food. But as I got deeper into the program, I decided to measure my carbs only just so I know when and how much I should cut from my portions if I plateau. I started off with a cup of carbs and evenutally cut down to 3/4 cup.

this is confusing for most people 9including me) because "fist size" is different for different foods, also he is CONSTANTLY contradicting himself in videos. For example, a chicken breast is like the size of my whole hand but a filet of tilapia is also but its much thinner... sort of feel like God made the portion sizes by making those animals those sizes... also what is a fist size portion of rice? The area of your fist and thickness? He says to use 1 cup of rice (still dont know whether thats cooked or uncooked, and it is 2x the serving suggestion)That is like two of my hands open and splay fingered... Again is that dry or cooked? Does it change even? A sweet potsato is the size of my fist yet a 100 gr serving is often only half a sweet potato. Amounts for eggs are not given and the scrool bars on everythnig goes from 100 gr to 1 cup or one breast.... it can be confusing. "Fist size" does not apply evenly to all foods obviously... Presumably measuring on a scale is the best bet, but again the multiple options n the scroll bar, the discrepencies between manufacturer serving sizes and his own discrepencies between the initial video, daily videos and nutrition plan is confusing to people...

ball your hand into a fist. That is the size your "fist" portion should be. We aren't in kindergarten any more, we should have the cognitive skills to estimate "if I balled that tilapia up, it should be roughly the size of my fist." Same goes for oats, whatever. think rough volume/area. This is an estimation. if you want to get precise, get a food scale and go that route. After you get the fist portions down, adjust according to what your body dictates... add or subtract more carbs, protein, etc (I always make sure to carb up before leg day, then taper off through the rest of the week before carbing up again).
