    I weigh my chicken. And measure everything.

    MFP has a recipe calculator, you can enter all the ingredients and how many servings is in the recipe and it will tell you how much is in 1 portion.

    I second entering your ingredients into the recipe maker on here. It saves them, so if it's a recipe you make often, you already have it saved. Works great!
