The palm of your hand can be used as a visual aid to determine an adequate portion of meat. The thickness of your palm must also be considered. As mentioned, correct portion sizes vary from person to person depending on such factors as level of activity, height, age, and body build. However, since a man’s hands are generally proportional to his size, the average man can use his palm as a point of reference. It’s logical women have small hands so small portions for them and bigger portions for men as they have bigger hands.
