I am always on the lookout for a good food hack.
I love cooking, but if I can find a way to make my time in the kitchen even easier, I will definitely try it. I've tried tricks to double the amount of juice I can get from a lime. I've even discovered the secret to cutting onions without shedding a tear. So naturally, when I saw this food hack to serve perfectly-sized portions? I was shocked to find that the answer was quite literally in the palm of my hand.
I've never been able to easily measure out meal portions until now. This extremely easy trick reveals how to serve the right amount of food using different measurements on your hand. I can use this to figure out the correct healthy portion for eating cheese, ice cream, pasta, meat, butter, and peanut butter. It's so simple!
Scroll down to see exactly how to portion out your food. I'll be adding this to my list of kitchen hacks immediately.

Using your hand, you can easily figure out the correct portion for cheese, ice cream, pasta, meat, butter, and peanut butter.
The healthy serving size for cheese is about two fingers.
You can use a clenched fist to measure a double serving of ice cream. A single serving would be half of that.
The proper portion for pasta is also the size of your clenched fist.
Measure out your meat by serving a portion that is the size of your palm.
To know how much butter to use, measure it against the size of your fingertip.
For peanut butter, measure out the size of the tip of your thumb. Double that amount and you've got the perfect portion.
