Food scale without a scale

Dear Wife,

I can't imagine an obsessive-compulsive-special diet freak person like me to bring a food scale wherever I want to check whether I am within my precribed food intake.

This is from a booklet I received from my doctor when I complained about the impossibility of determining the correct measurements especially when I am dining out.

Very practical and easy to remember.

3 ounces of meat = one deck of cards

1 ounce of meat=matchbox

medium apple= golf ball

medium potato= computer mouse

medium onion = baseball

1 cup fruit = one average orange

1/2 cooked pasta= ice cream scoop

1 ounce bread = CD case

1cup broccoli=light bulb

2 tablepoons butter=golf ball

1 ounce cheese= domino

It is also to use your regular drinking glass to measure milk or any drink without using the measuring cup.

Simply measure a cup of any liquid in a meausuring cup then pour into one drinking glass. Mark or memorize where the liquid comes up to.

Next, substition savvy.
