How do you measure oz. of chicken?

Question

I'm doing a diet and I need to know how to measure out 3 or 4 oz. of chicken and fish (preferable without having to buy a scale)

Answer 1

weigh it and then every pound is 16 ounces so just multiply it by 16 =)

Answer 2

Since you're not buying a scale, a digital postal scale cost only $20 to $25, the general rule of thumb is 3 ounces of chicken or fish is about the size of a standard deck of playing cards.

Also, the best thing to do when on a diet is to eliminate as much fat as possible and exercise.

Good luck on your diet!

Answer 3

16oz is equal to a pound. So look at how much your chicken weighs when you buy it and divide it approx to get the correct weight. So half a pound would be 8oz

Answer 4

a serving of meat is the size of a deck of cards and equal thickness.

that is going to give you your 4 oz serving NO scale required

best wishes on your weight loss success

Answer 5

well find out the number of lbs because it's usually in measurements of lbs and then to convert that number into oz, multiply the number of lbs by 16.

Answer 6

that's tough to do without a scale.  #1) ask the butcher at your local market to portion it out for you and wrap it up, they will be happy to do it...  or #2) buy your chicken and fish in weights that will evenly split into 4 oz. portions...so, buy a 12 oz fish fillet and eyeball it into 3 pieces.  

scale is the best.  if you have a dollar store near you, you can buy one there.  they work pretty well for everything but baking.

good luck!
