Some tupperware conatiners actually say 2 cups for example on the bottom. I use ziploc and I just use the 2 cup bowl for almost everything or the 4 cup. Not measuring but when I'm trying to have portion control.

well 4 ounces, the reccomended portion for meat, is about the size of a deck of cards.

a cup is 8 ounces, so a regulare drinking glass is about a cup

a table spoon is actually one big tablespoon full of liquid

a palm sized piece of meat- 1 serving
tennis ball of carbs- 1 serving
tennis ball of veggies/ fruits- 1 serving
