    Nothing. I only eyeball things I have previously weighed & am sure of.

    I don't weigh most things because I tend to buy things that come in what ends up as 2 servings for me. I divide the weight on the package of veggies or meat or chicken breasts. If I don't get it in this meal I'll get it in a meal tomorrow. It really doesn't matter which.

    My most used tools in my house are my measuring spoons, measuring cups and digital scales.

    My husband and I play games while cooking to see who gets closer to the actual weight of things... I'm pretty good most times but I have to say it isn't easy.

    spaghetti! I had "1 cup" the other day...it was actually closer to 2! I purchased a 1 cup measuring cup with 1/4 cup increments on it as clearly I need to work on that!

    Ice Cream :cry: I want more!!! LOL

    But really everything. If it has a weight measure and I wasn't measuring I was wrong.

    Cheese. I get sad when I measure 30 grams. :(

    Me too! It's unfair! LOL

    I was really surprised at labeling. I was eating Chicken breast (good) and entering it from scanning using the bar code. Apparently, if you look at the small print (which I now do) it stated that a portion size was HALF a chicken breast. So, instead of 4 oz I was eating 8 oz. Great for protein though! Now I carefully read the label and WEIGH my food using a digital scale. What a difference.

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeeverything.

    I used to eat man sized portions every night for dinner. Im talking like 6 servings of pasta in one meal! And I could polish it off easily. I always thought if I had way more pasta than bolognase mince, I was being " healthier " . hahahahaha

    Now I use my scales, best thing I have ever done.

    Sometimes I know Im making a dinner I adore, and I will fast for the whole day just so I can fit in a man sized portion of my dinner. Its actually working out really well and I hadn't realised it was an actual " thing " other people do on purpose. To control hunger during the day I drink tea or coffee.

    I dont do this too often, however. It can get hard on days off.
