That's how I feel. I'm not so worried so much about how accurate my calculations are so much as that I'm eating a healthy amount and maintaining. Ideally, I would like to maintain without weighing and logging everything for the rest of my life.

I'm just very confused because while I'm aware that weighing is the only accurate way to measure portions, I deliberately overestimate my portions. For instance, I ate 1 tsp of golden flaxseed today, but I logged it as 1 tbsp; similarly, I measured 1/4 cup of brown rice, but I logged 1/2 cup. It seems strange that I could…
