I use a food scale, measuring spoons and cups. If you do it often enough, you can estimate fairly accurately when you are away from home.

I am only 4'10" and when I followed a 1200 cal diet I maintained or gained. I am in the health care field and work with dietitians. One of my favorite dietitians told me I cannot eat more than 1000 cals or I will gain.
