RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Becoming/staying lean & fit is all about calories consumed vs calories burned each day. That means portion control with your meals & snacks, and it's as easy as looking at your hand. Make a fist, that should be the size of the LEAN protein (white meat/fish/eggs) on your plate. Next open your hand and look at the size of your palm, that should be the size of the carb on your plate. Finally, look at your thumb, from the the tip of your thumb to the center is how much fat (oils/cream/dressing/etc) should be on your plate.
