  • Getting enough protein is easy with this visual guide that shows you what 100 grams of protein looks like for vegans, vegetarians, carnivores and omnivores.

The article from CNET provides a visual guide to help individuals estimate their protein intake without the need for precise measurements. It explains that a serving of protein, which is roughly equivalent to 25 grams, can be visualized through common food items: a palm-sized portion of meat, fish, or poultry; a cupped handful of beans or lentils; or a small tub of Greek yogurt. The guide simplifies dietary tracking by suggesting that one can meet daily protein needs by consuming portions roughly the size of their hand. For example, a typical serving of chicken breast or steak should be about the size of your palm, while a serving of nuts or seeds might be the size of your thumb. This method aims to make nutrition less about exact numbers and more about practical, easy-to-remember visual cues, helping people to balance their protein intake effectively.
