Measuring helps losing body fat

January 19, 2009 by mrogers 

It’s easy to eyeball portions and assume that the amount on your plate equals one serving, but the best way to ensure that you’re losing body fat is to measure your portions. A good kitchen scale helps you put only 4 ounces of meat on your plate, while measuring cups ensure that you have 1/2 cup of rice and a full cup of green beans.

When you are losing body fat, you won’t regret the extra time you took before each meal to carefully measure your portions. For pre-packaged foods, look at the nutritional information to see how much is included in a serving. For items made from scratch, invest in a calorie book or search the internet.

Losing body fat will improve your health and make you look slimmer. To speed up the process, take the time to measure your portions.
