Hand Portion Estimation Logging
Hand portion estimation logging uses palm, fist, and thumb units when scales fail—repeatable coarse portions, wider macro bands than weighed logs.
Hand portion estimation logging uses palm for protein, fist for carbs, thumb for fats when scales and clear photos are unavailable—coarse but repeatable if your hand size is stable. Include the hand in the photo for scale context some apps read.
Better than omitting restaurant meals; worse than weighed prep.
Common questions
-

They stabilize consistency when eating out—pair with weekly scale check-ins on home meals. Protein palm and fat thumb matter most; carb fist varies by restaurant pile size.
