Eyeballing Food Portions

Found a nifty article on ezine while looking for example meals I could make.  My routine meals are getting insanely boring so I was looking for some fresh ideas and came across this helpful tidbit.

Portion/Size: 1 oz. meat = Matchbox, 3 oz. meat = Deck of cards, 8 oz. meat = Thin paperback book, 3 oz. fish = Checkbook, 1 oz. cheese = Four dice, 1 med. potato = Computer mouse, 2 tbsp. peanut butter = Ping pong ball, 1 cup pasta = Tennis ball, 1 bagel = Hockey puck
