    At first when you guys said you’re not weighing your food my first thought was yes I am but then after watching your video I realize no I’m really not weighing the food I’m doing an estimation with measuring cups

    It really makes a significant difference and once you get the hang of it, you’ll find it’s faster and has less clean up

    If you ever get a food scale, please come back and share any insights!

    Yep! Learn the TARE button. It saves tons of hassle.

    Thought I'd throw in another measurement problem. If you follow a recipe, either from a book or online, input the ingredients to the calculator yourself. Don't get lazy and just accept the nutrition given by the book or site. Most of the time for me, the calories end up higher than stated. Same with the other macros. See it as more an estimated guide.
    When choosing ingredients in the calculator, look through a couple of the same item to get a better reading of how many cals per gram/ml/oz are in the item. You can also google first.
    Some entries are very inaccurate, this is why I cross check. Of course frequent use of the same item makes it faster as you already know which option is good.

    Also, take your measurements and note how your clothes fit. If you are weight training, you are gaining muscle which makes the numbers on the scale static.
