I did say that a deck of cards, or the palm of your hand, is equal to a 3oz serving of meat, fish or poultry, which is the recommended size. I have removed the 8 oz meat, as you are right, that is confusing. I was trying to demonstrate what 8 ounces of meat would look like, not that that is the recommended. As for the yogurt, 8 fl oz is about a cup, and that is what a serving would be. Hi e,

Yougurt should be a 4 oz size and sodas and drinks should be 6 oz. 8 oz of meat is too big of a portion. 3-4 oz is better.

If your husband is still hungry, he should eat more veg, slightly larger portion of protein, and perhaps a few more healthy snacks throughout the day, than what you eat yourself. If you are eating good quality sources of protein, plenty of veg and drinking lots of water, you will find your appetite regulates itself, without too much trouble. Hi Cornett,
