Final Fight Sega CD Intro: Final Fight was released on the Sega CD in 1992 and it was one of three games to be released in the Final Fight series. Unlike the NES version of Final Fight, which was developed by Capcom for the arcades, Final Fight Sega CD was developed by the now defunct Taito Corporation for the Sega CD.
Final Fight Sega CD is a side scrolling beat-’em-up that is strongly reminiscent of the Street Fighter series of fighting games, but not quite that good. In the game, you play as Guy, the villain of the game, as you fight your way through an evil city, defeating all of the enemies that lay in your way.
Final Fight is probably one of the most well-known side-scrolling beat-em-up video games of all time, and for good reason. The original Final Fight is nearly six years old now, and while some things have changed, the basic gameplay remains the same: you play as Mike Haggar, a cop named Dan, or Guy, and must make their way through the city streets to defeat the Mad Gear gang. The game has such a cult following that it was recently used as the basis for a port for the Sega CD, as well as a re-release of the original game on Xbox Live Arcade..

Math? To organize the dinner? Isn’t there a better way? Yes, there are. Just look at your hand. Use your fist, palm, wrapped palm and thumb to practice calorie control – and avoid having to count them.

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: The best – maybe the only – way to lose weight is to count calories.
After all, it’s a pretty simple equation: Calories in and calories out. When you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. Eat fewer calories than you burn and you will lose weight.
The only problem is that calorie counting is not that easy.
Problems with calorie counting
In terms of calorie intake, you first need to determine how many calories the food you want to eat contains. And for that you need reference books, websites, databases and math. Just to plan your lunch. Gémis.
Second, you should assume that the calorie information in guides, websites, and databases is accurate. This is often not the case. In fact, studies show that they can be around 25% lower due to poor labelling, measurement errors in laboratories and food quality.
And then, of course, there’s the calorie side. The estimate of daily calorie consumption is accompanied by an additional 25% measurement error due to the equipment used, measurement errors in the laboratory and individual differences.
Possible error of 25% on the caloric side inside and another 25% on the caloric side outside.
Is it worth it?
Bringing out the measuring cups under the booing of family members;
dusting off the scales and trying to ignore the jeers of friends;
taking an abacus out of the bedroom to count calories;
signing up for apps and web services to keep track of those less-than-accurate numbers?
Of course, we need to have an idea of how much food we eat each day so we can adjust it to meet our goals.
But the calorie counting itself is addictive! It’s no wonder so many people give up and revert to their old eating habits.

An antidote to calorie counting
Here’s the good news: Calorie counting is rarely necessary.
Our coaching programs assess food portions differently. There is no need to bring scales and measuring cups. No calculators or smartphones.
All you need is the ability to count to two. And your own hand.
This is how it works:
Your palm determines your protein servings.
Your fist controls your vegetable portions.
Your palm determines the portions of carbohydrates.
Your thumb indicates the fat content.
To determine the protein intake
Use a palm-sized portion for high-protein foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy products or legumes.
For men, we recommend two palm-sized servings with each meal.
And for women, we recommend a palm-sized serving with each meal.
A word of advice: A palm-sized portion is the same thickness and diameter as your palm.
How can the consumption of vegetables be determined?
Use a fist-sized portion for vegetables like broccoli, spinach, lettuce, carrots, etc.
For men, we recommend two fistfuls of vegetables with each meal.
And for women, we recommend a fistful of vegetables with every meal.
Again: A fist-sized portion is the same thickness and diameter as your fist.
To determine carbohydrate intake
In the case of carbohydrate-rich foods, such as. B. Cereals, starches or fruits, use the palm of your hand to determine portion size.
For men, we recommend 2 palm-sized servings of carbohydrates with most meals.
And for women, we recommend a palm-sized portion of carbohydrates with most meals.
To determine the fat intake
For high-fat foods – such as oils, butter, nut spreads, nuts/seeds – use the whole inch to determine portion size.
For men, we recommend 2 thumb-sized servings of fat with most meals.
And for women, we recommend a fat portion of half an inch at most meals.
Note on body size
Of course, if you’re a taller person, you probably have a bigger hand. And if you’re less than… Well, you get the idea. Your own hand is an individual (and portable) measuring tool for the food you eat.
It is true that some people have larger or smaller hands for their size. Yet the size of our hands is closely related to the overall size of our bodies, including muscles, bones – all the makings.
Flexible meal planning
Based on the above recommendations, which assume you eat about four meals a day, you now have a simple and flexible guide to meal planning.
For men:
2 palms with protein-rich foods at each meal;
2 fists with vegetables at each meal;
2 closed palms with carbohydrate-rich foods at most meals;
2 whole thumbs with fat-rich foods at most meals.
For women:
1 palm of protein-rich food at each meal;
1 fist of vegetables at each meal;
1 palm of carbohydrate-rich food at most meals;
1 thumb of fat-rich food at most meals.
Of course, like any other form of meal planning – including calorie counting – this is a starting point.
You cannot know in advance exactly how your body will react. So be flexible and adjust your portions based on hunger, satiety and other important goals.
For example, if you are trying to gain weight and you are experiencing problems, you can add another handful of carbs or another handful of fat. Similarly, if you are trying to lose weight but seem to be at a dead end: You can cut the carbs from your closed palm or the fat from your thumb at certain meals.
Remember: This is the starting point. Adjust portions at any time with results-based decision making, i.e. how does it work for you?
Want more customization options?
For those who want to go further – because they have more ambitious goals or because they already have a good diet but are still struggling – let’s dig a little deeper.
We have a very simple way to help people eat well and reach their goals.
We begin by classifying clients into one of three general categories (or somatotypes):
I (ectomorphs),
types V (mesomorphs) and
types O (endomorphs).
And each type gets slightly different recommendations.

For fitness and nutrition specialists
As a fitness or nutrition coach, you can set specific nutrition goals for your clients. No problem.
But should we tell them to eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight? Or 25-50 grams of protein with breakfast? (Hint: no.)
Many customers don’t even know what foods contain protein, let alone how many grams each product contains and what the serving size of each product is. This makes recommendations based on grams quite complex.
The fuss over these figures is causing much concern and confusion among customers. Healthy eating then seems too complicated and they end up giving up or going down the wrong path.
And this is the most important thing: Most customers don’t need this level of detail. The simpler and clearer your recommendations are, the more likely customers are to follow them.
So why not share these recommendations instead? How do you make a healthy, personalized diet easier?
