    Apologies to those who thought my post would be about breasts:-) I should have thought about that before posting. Thanks for all the advice...I got a download out of it and can't wait to use it (Figwee):smile:

    the best app is simply a measuring cup.

    Yes, but often there are circumstances that don't allow you to pack around a measuring cup. Like eating out.

    but if you eat at home most of the time (and even better if you prepare your own food) you should be able to tell, "hey, this is about a cup". it's really not that hard, and i don't mean to sound inflammatory, it's just that apps are not the answer for this kind of thing because it's more than just visual. some things weigh more by volume than other things. some things are more nutrient dense and some are calorie light. when you eat out, you should just eat out and enjoy it because you really have no idea what other people are doing to your food.

    the best way to learn this kind of thing is to cook and use measuring tools.

    Sorry. I feel like getting beaten down when I was simply trying to let the OP know there was an unconventional tool to help with this sort of thing. I have 4 young kids. I have no choice but to cook at home everyday. I use measuring tools and know what amounts are what. But occasionally the app is useful. I just wanted to help the OP out. Sorry you disagree with my help.

    I downloaded the ap and find it's exactly what I was looking for:-)

    I'm actually sorry that you feel "beaten down" as that was never my intention. It's just that when you eat out, you should just eat out and you should be able to tell by experience what a cup of something looks like after a while. An app may occasionally be helpful, but it's no comparison to actually being in touch with your food and knowing "a fistful of mashed potatoes is probably about a half cup". I don't disagree with anything, and really, I meant no harm, it just seems that the more we depend on technology to tell us what we should already know, the less we actually know.

    here's another good resource: http://www.aarp.org/health/fitness/info-07-2009/Martina_serving_sizes.html?CMP=KNC-360i-YAHOOBING-HEA-FIT&HBX_PK=portion_sizes&utm_source=YAHOOBING&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=portion+sizes&utm_campaign=M_Health&360cid=SI_194874419_320875656_1
