Understanding what a "proper" portion can get tricky especially if you don't have ay guidelines or other sources to reference before a meal. "This looks like it could be a tablespoon..." or "This feels like a half cup..." will not suffice when it comes to portion control and counting calories. If you're new to what exactly a portion is, it's very helpful to associate certain measurements with common objects, that way you and your loved ones can create an accurate representation of the foods that are filling your body.
