What does พอดี mean?

Means 'just right' or 'exactly' - used when something fits perfectly, arrives at the right time, or is the exact amount needed. Thai speakers use it constantly for clothing sizes, timing, portions of food, or when something happens at the perfect moment. More natural than saying 'perfect' in most situations.
