You would only have failed if you'd never started. Keep trying!

I was annoyed with measuring serving sizes & logging in everything i ate, but i know i hafto suck it up & stop being lazy & calculate & do MFP the right way ☺ No excuse!

Some things that might make logging easier and more flexible for you:

If you don't have a food scale, get one. It's much faster, easier, more accurate, and cleaner than using measuring cups and spoons for solids. Get one with a tare (zero) function and that weighs in grams because Nutrition Facts serving sizes are given in grams.

Log before you eat so that you can change the amount before it's too late.

Use an MFP entry that lists the serving size in grams or, better yet, make a My Foods entry that you don't share with the database so that you know that the info is accurate. You can then choose the "1 gram" serving size and just enter how much you want in grams rather than having to pull out the calculator to figure out fractions of a serving.

Nutrition Facts on foods give suggested serving sizes. Your portion (what you actually eat) is completely in your control and can change every time you eat that item if you wish. Sometimes I might want 8 grams of X and another time I might want 20 grams of X. Customize how much of something you eat to fit your goals and desires rather than feeling constrained to measuring out exactly a serving.

Logging will get easier with practice.
