The app asks how much of each food I eat.

How am I supposed to know?
Do I have to have a little scale with me all the time?
What do I do about stews, paella, and such?

    I've learned to estimate weights and volumes, although sometimes I actually will measure out 1/2 cup of something to make sure I understand my portion sizes.

    For a while, yeah, I had to measure out every single thing. Now I'm much better at guessing, but I always round up just to make sure. If you can't measure all the time, then whatever amount you *think* you ate, you should add a certain percentage more because typically guesses are underestimates with volume and the like.
