Portions

Is the tip the biggest thing you see?

Try it yourself

Grilled fish, a large rice mound, steamed veg. Where does the read usually land first?

• The fish is the tip
• The rice mound is Watch — or the tip if it’s the direction shift
• The vegetables are the tip
• You must weigh everything first

Helping

• Grilled fish
• Vegetables

Tips

• Large rice mound

One move

Keep the fish — take half the rice, or stop at one scoop.

FastSnap’s position

Portions change the read — they don’t replace it.

A bigger mound can tip a plate. A small rich pour can tip harder than a large pile of greens (Looks can fool you).

So portion is a visual cue, not a diary total:

• Sometimes size is Watch (note the mound)
• Sometimes size is the tip (second helping, oversized side)
• Helping can stay large — protect the protein even when the plate is full

How to read size

Ask, in order:

1. What’s helping?
2. What’s oversized or piled — Watch?
3. Is that pile (or the second scoop) what changes direction — Tip?
4. What’s One Move? Half · share · leave some · skip the refill

Try it yourself

Aligned first plate. You’re eyeing a second helping of fries. What’s the tip now?

• The first plate — rewrite it
• The second helping
• The protein you already ate
• Nothing — seconds never tip

What FastSnap does

When the photo shows a heavy mound or an easy second pass, the Coach’s Call can name that size cue and hand you What’s next.
