2 Important Questions

Depending on how much weight you have to lose, I think estimating and using measuring cups and spoons can help you reach a deficit at first. It is certainly better to make an attempt than to just whatever with no regard for portions. As you get closer to your goal weight, you will most likely find that you have much less wiggle room with your deficit. I prefer to weigh all of my food except for liquids (I do weigh oils though,) in grams and track them that way. If you are able to purchase a scale eventually, scoop up a measuring cup full of something you eat, then weigh it. You will probably be surprised by the difference in actual grams versus what the package says 1 cup is. I certainly was!
