Sometimes it's not the size of the pouch but what you're putting in it that's the problem. The "pouch rules" article states that a large range of pouch sizes will still result in a successful tool provided you fill it with dense protein sources. If you fill your pouch mostly with ground beef or chicken or egg, etc, then top off with some veggies, the amount is not a critical. I can put away a comparitively large volume, but as long as I make good choices, it's fine.
