How do you measure portions?

I have a food scale and several sets of measuring cups and spoons. I'm a cooking pro and pretty good at eyeballing it, but actual measuring tools are essential.

I use a food scale, it's easier that way. More accurate too.

I use an electric kitchen scale for most things, which I adore for its accuracy. I use measuring cups and spoons for most liquids.

I'm terrible at judging portion sizes and the scale and cups means I'm not lying to myself about how much I'm eating and gives me consistency in my portions.

I use a scale that counts in ounces & measuring cups. It seems to work well.

I use all the above, scale, measuring cups and spoons. In fact I'll be taking them with me to Thanksgiving dinner.

Scales

i use food scales
put my plate on, zero it
add the starchy's, zero it
add the meat, zero it
i dont weigh my veggies. i weighed them the first time and i have about the same amount every time. plus not so much change if u are 10g out with those.

Depends what it is. I mostly guesstimate. Using a scale... sounds like too much work to me lol.

Digital food scale.
It does 'add&weigh' or tare.
It also does negative weighing.
