Do you weigh/measure your food?

I always measure my food. The peanutbutter on my toast, the soy sauce in my stir fry, the uncooked oats for my oatmeal... all of it. It really adds up.

Weighing with a scale is more accurate, but I've always done just find measuring with cups, tbs, tsp, etc.

Just had an interesting experience. Was having some leftover lentils for lunch and decided, to be precise, I would measure exactly one cup. It was way smaller than I would have served myself if I had been "eye-balling" a serving. Literally, the whole thing fit into a kiddie bowl!

Was wondering how many people weigh/measure their food, at least some of the time. Now I want to get a kitchen scale so I can verify what I have long suspected: those Costco chicken breasts are about 3 servings each!

I measure every single thing, every single time. I even take my scale on vacation with me. Right now I am eating 181 grams of Jazz apple, 113 grams of Cara orange and 82 grams of yogurt. It's a habit and it's kind of fun to try and guess how close I can eyeball (not very.....which is why I weigh!)

Yup - use my food scale every day.

I weigh whenever possible, and measure if I can't weigh. For those times I can't do either, I'm better at eyeballing now that I'm so used to weighing, but it makes me uncomfortable to guess.

I love my food scale. I weigh all of my meats,pasta, rice, cheese, bread, etc. I pre-weigh things in portions and pack it in the fridge so I only have to think about it once. This saves me pulling out my scale every time I eat (we have a really small kitchen and everything has to be put away.)
I use measuring spoons for ALLLLLLL liquids. I bought several sets at the dollar store so I didn't have to wash them as often.
I use measurements (cups) for veggies and fruit. I weighed fruit when I started, but discovered the variations in things like bananas and clementines wasn't enough for me to be concerned about. I am rarely scraping at my calorie limit for the day. As for lettuce, etc., I usually measure that with cups as, again, the caloric value is so low that I don't mind variation.

I use a food scale and a set of measuring cups/spoons. Since I've been at this awhile, my eye-balling is about 99% accurate so I've slacked off with the measuring. However, once in awhile - just to make sure I'm on target, I'll eye-ball something and then actually weigh/measure to make sure.

It also helps if you know the capacity of the bowls you generally use - I agree the first time I measured and put my food in my bowl...I was very surprised at the amount the bowl held.

i weigh the calorie-dense stuff: meats, nuts, and fats. i've weighed some foods that i now mostly measure: cereals, pastas, cottage cheese, yogurt. and i have learned how to relate weight to size, which is really handy when traveling or eating out. i don't carry scoops, measures or scales with me when i travel, to other people's homes or into restaurants as i think it would be neurotic of me to do so, especially if i am someone's guest.

does it work? in my experience, yes. for example, i just came back from a three week stint away from home (and my scale) in which i measured high calorie foods, eyeballed low calorie foods (lettuce, most vegetables, dreyers' fruit pops) and continued to lose a little more than a pound a week. this also reflects my broader experience: weigh what matters, calorie-wise, and measure the rest. then if your weight changes don't match expectations: move more stuff into the weigh-this category.

i have found that learning (a) how to determine portion size by eye, (b) learning how not pack a measuring cup, and (c) making adjustments as necessary are all important skills for long term weight maintenance.

I always weigh/measure. Mostly weigh.

ETA: I just ate 170g fage 2% greek yogurt, 141g raspberries, 79g strawberries and 30g vanilla protein powder. Yummy!

I weigh calorie dense foods.

I don't weigh lettuce, any greens really, tomatoes, celery etc.

I just started my lifestyle change this past Monday. I went yesterday and bought me a scale and I use it with all my foods. I also put all the big bowls away and use kid's bowls to make it seem like there is more.
