Answer:

B. 1 Cupped Handful

Explanation:

A portion control strategy for women regarding carbohydrates is 1 cupped handful.  

• As a nutrition coach or a fitness professional, one knows that calories do matter.  

• The weight of a human body is fundamentally monitored by energy balance, that is, calories in versus calories out.  

• One of the ways to determine the calories count is to count the calories using one's own hand.  

• The palm determines the portions of protein to take, the first determines the portions of veggies, the cupped hand determines the portions of carbs, and the thumb determines the portions of fat to take.  

• To determine the serving size for carbohydrate dense foods like starches, grains, or fruits, one should use a cupped hand. Each cupped handful provides about 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrate.  

• In case of women, four to six cupped handfuls of carbohydrates each day is generally recommended. This works out to be about 1 cupped handful of carbohydrates in each meal.

• This provides a woman with enough carbs to maintain hormones, fuel performance, and feel good without getting excessive.  

Thus, the correct answer is option B, that is, 1 cupped handful.
