BJS12345 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I am packing home made chicken salad w home made mayo. Should I pack half/cup for one serving of protein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Depends on the ratio of chicken to mayo to other goodies, but I think 1 cup would be better than half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I find it easier to picture the "palm-size" portion prior to making a mixed dish like chicken salad. Just think about how many servings of chicken are in the salad, and divide it into that number of portions. So, for example: if I put two-palms-worth of chicken into the salad, then it makes two servings; just divide the final dish in half. PS. pro-tip: If the prepared salad serving is smaller than one-palm (like your half-cup of salad) then it definitely does not contain a full palm of protein.

BJS12345 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks for the help! It was made from a small whole organic chicken. I didn't measure out the portions of chicken before I added the mayo. I also put 3 HB eggs in the batch. It made about 4 and a half cups with some celery added too.

missmary Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 In that case, I think the serving would be a cup or a little bit more....depending on the size of your palms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
