Serving sizes.

I have been doing this long enough that I can eyeball a serving size on most things, I know what a cup looks like and 1/4 cup and ect.

Today my friend brought me lunch, chinese and after we got done eating I went to log it. Well the serving size for shrimp foo young is a cup, I compared my shrimp foo young to what a cup would be and I decided on a cup and a half. My friend tried to tell me it was a quart of shrimp foo young!!!!

I wanted to punch him, he was like well the menu said it was a quart! I just had to tell him that the whole container fried rice and all was a quart not just the shrimp foo young cause that would have been ridiculous!!!!

He keeps arguing with me about it, but I am sticking to my gut. I know it wasn't 4servings of shrimp foo young that I just ate!

your doing better than me! lol i cant even eye measure what a serving is. don't fret about it too much. its ok to accidentially overeat sometimes.Only bad think about chines is the sodium, which sucks.

You do what you want. Log it as you like. After all it is your food log. I get my fiance mad when I measure everything, he claims I am crazy. lol

I've become so reliant on my scale I don't think I can eyeball measure!! I get anxiety when I am away from my scale! I've even brought it with me on a picnic!
