How much should I eat?
At Fitness Soul we don’t count calories or weigh our food. Instead, we measure our food by hand (as recommended by Precision Nutrition)

Hands are:

portable – take them to the restaurant, holidays
scaled to the individual – small hands = smaller body = less food 🙂
provide a reasonable amount of nutrient-dense foods without the need for weighting them.
So how much should I eat per day?
It depends on your goals, genes, metabolism, overall activity level etc.

The good place to start is:
For women:

4-6 portions of protein
4-6 portions of vegetables
4-6 portions of carbs
4-6 portions of fat

For men:

6-8 portions of protein
6-8 portions of vegetables
6-8 portions of carbs
6-8 portions of fat
You need to adjust your portions according to your needs and goals.




For example:

If you want to lose body fat or you are very inactive – remove few portions of carbs and/or few portions of fats from a few meals.

(1/2-1 portion for women) (1-2 portion for men)
