    about the size of a deck of cards. most of the chicken breasts purchased at the grocery store are 8 to 10 ounces each. I usually cut them in half before cooking so I am not tempted to eat the whole thing!

    i have always heard that 4 oz of meat is about the size of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand.

    I found the best way to know is just to simply buy a food scale . I got mine from target, was like 25 bucks I believe. I use it to measure everything! All my meats , lettuce, fruits, veggies. . . Everything! I thought I used to eyeball pretty accurate and wasn't losing weight. I bought the scale and am exercising so hard and it's coming off. :)

    You should get a food scale-- you can find them all over the place in the household/kitchen section of many stores or Walmart. I weigh my food every day because I want to know the exact weight!

    I have also recently noticed the incredible size of chicken breasts (particularly Tyson). Probably shouldn't, but it disturbs me.

    it is truly amazing when you THINK you know how much something weighs but you really dont. We weigh/measure everything. I hope one day I wont have to but for now it's the ONLY true way to know exactly what I am putting in my mouth.

    If you go to Sam's club, you can pay a little more any buy the pre-portioned 5oz frozen breasts. That's what I do because I'm lazy.
