I sometimes weigh my foods, but as a human we can't do it all the time. This site helped me a lot in visualizing portion sizes and I thought it might help others.

As a human i weigh ALL my solid food and measure ALL my liquids. ALL the time!

Heh, yeah I admit I am the laziest dieter I know. But it has worked out in my favor. Like really wanting a snack but being too lazy to go out and get one.

But seeing portions on plates helped me a lot.

Yup, I weigh and measure like, 99% of the time. Only time I don't is when I am in a restaurant (in which case portions don't matter since I usually eat at chains and just use the nutritional info online) or eating at a relative's house, at which time I will estimate the weight of the food.

Since I do not use volume for solids, this website helps me in no way.

Thank you! I weigh most of the time but this def helped for those times I can't.

Relieved to see this visualizing of portions, instead of the usual and annoying decks of cards, computer mouse and six dice. A portion is mostly very straightforward, just one piece, glass, cup, dish, etc, not filled to the brim. Thank you.

But I still have the opinion that everybody has to decide for themselves how much to eat of each food to stay within their own goals, and I love how MFP is completely neutral as choices of foods or amounts are concerned.

Cool site, but personally, I need to weigh.
