    4-6 oz Portion Size for Meat

    I'm trying a new diet and it says i should eat 4-6 oz chicken, fish, beef, etc. However, I do not own a food scale and as such I am unsure how big a piece of meat 4-6 oz is. Any visualization aids or approximate measurements would be helpful.

    Thanks

    the size of your fist is a good measure for 6 oz. not the thickness, but the diameter.

    If you had to guess, or maybe you know, about how thick is a 4-6 oz slice (assuming the thickness is uniform)?

    Normally meat is purchased by weight. Just divide total weight purchased by portion size (in ounces). Eye ball it, pretty basic, really. Or buy a scale if your not good at estimating. A deck of cards is around 4 or 5 ounces.
