1. Vegetables: Hold or

put your hands together, and a handful is the amount that can be lifted. Holding with both hands can be used to measure the amount of vegetables, and it is the amount of vegetables after washing and cutting. The amount of vegetables held with one hand is about 1 grams.

The amount of vegetables that can be easily grabbed by a handle is similar to that of a two-handed one, both of which are about 1g.

If it is a nut with a shell, it should be weighed after the shell is removed. Moreover, the daily amount of soybeans and nuts should be about a little more than one hand.

3, flaky food: palm

Put flaky food in the palm of your hand. For meat, generally, the size and thickness of a palm (excluding fingers) is about 5 grams, and lean meat such as pork, chicken, duck and fish can be calculated according to this method. If it is meat with less fat, such as shrimp and shellfish, the amount of a palm is slightly more, about 85 grams.

4. Spherical and lumpy foods: fists

Spherical and lumpy foods are more common in staple foods, such as a round steamed bread or a piece of sweet potato. The weight of a steamed bread the size of a trumpeter's fist in an adult is about 8 grams.
