    In answer to your question - No i dont do this myself- i only weigh things at home.
    My lunch is pre packed at home anyway.

    If I am in a situation where I can only estimate ,then i just estimate.
    have never logged all that acuurately myself anyway - and that works for me.

    But if you want to take your scale to work, do so -. whatever works for you.

    i pack my lunch at home.

    ive also been doing this 4 years now and am pretty good at guessing weights/ calories when i need to. if you weigh and log consistently at home, you get pretty good at it. i maintained for a year and never (ok, rarely) touched my food scale.

    No, I prep my breakfast, lunch, and snacks at home and bring them to work.

    I prep 80% at home but we have an awesome salad bar at work and I will bring my own dressing and sometimes protein but get greens, extra veggies and sometimes a protein from the salad bar downstairs.

    I couldn’t handle that level of accuracy I think I’d lose my mind. I admire the level of dedication you all have! I usually eat the same thing for lunch every day, I’ve found that if I eat while I work I’m not much tasing the food anyway and there is never time to actually slow all the way down during my work day. So I recipe build my lunches on Sunday, then I eyeball the portions into 5 containers. If I’m the only one eating the whole batch anyway I’m not concerned if Monday is more than Thursday because it’s going to even out in the end anyway.
