Answer:
- Cereals: the portion you should eat should not exceed your clenched fist, as long as they are simple flakes. If we talk about granola (oat flakes mixed with honey and nuts) or other types of cereals with more ingredients, then they will be somewhat smaller.
This same measure, explains Jéssica Hierro, nutritionist of Alimmenta, also applies to pulses and cereals, pasta, rice, lentils, chickpeas, and equivalent to about 80 g.
Tricks to make food last longer
- Salads, vegetables and fruits: When preparing a salad, some nutritionists recommend an approximate measure of a baseball. For those who are not very fanatics of this sport, they should know that it is something bigger than a tennis one. This same amount also works for fruit pieces.
- Meat and fish: a meat steak must be similar to the size of a deck of cards or according to the recommendation of Jéssica Hierro, it should occupy the entire palm of the hand. Equivalent to about 125 g.
If we talk about fish, it should be a loin that does not exceed the size of your smartphone.
- Cheeses: lovers of cured cheese will have to conform to the size of a piece of dominoes (30 g), as indicated by the nutritionist.
- Oil: from Alimmenta they recommend that the volume be equivalent to the fingertip of the thumb (10 g). Not one more drop or one less. Of course, this does not mean that a person can only take 10 g of oil a day, the daily recommendation is two to six servings of oil.
