Single serving for who? The serving size measurement seems to be completely arbitrarily made up. You want to say that a petite sedentary women has the same serving size as 2m 100kg active guy? Yeah the first example would eat less than a serving size and latter would eat multiple serving sizes.
But that begs to question. For who was the serving size designed for? Men, women, body type, size, activity level? All of those will change how much a person should eat.
I mean you can always add more depending on your own portion size. It's consistent, that's the key, vs blindly grabbing handfuls and guessing.
Coins are really good placeholders for diameter, especially when you're measuring with your hands. Grab a nickel's width just for me if I'm not that hungry. As you dial in the right amount, measure with your fingers and see how large of a circle you have to make.
I'd rather use a scale, but I don't have one that works well with long pastas
That's a good method, Of course a fixed portion size measurement could be used similarly, like the hole in the pasta spoon.
Just a personal gripe with the portion sizes.
Personally i just eyeball it and eat more or less afterwards based on refined numbers as cooking changes weight and calorie density. Over the years I've managed to get the eyeball measurements good enough. And synchronized cooked weight numbers to bodyweight changes.
okay we get an appropriately sized auger and adjust the spoon. I like that method too. i don't get to play with my augers enough.
