**** yeah. How could you possibly know where to go if you don't know where you are or where you've been?
 
I have never weighed my food (like meat), but I have continually measured other food items I consumed. I consistently buy portion sizes of meat, and use the label approximation on calories/nutrition per portion. I learned rather quickly, early in my fat loss quest, just how small portion sizes really are as compared to what we "think" they are. If one isn't sure, it is best to measure and/or weigh your food to be sure (or a combo that provides results).


Best wishes

I actually use my food scale quite a lot. I'm rather anal about how many gms of protein, carbs and fat I ingest every day :)

I can eyeball my plate and I'm pretty accurate. But nothing beats a scale ;)
 
You don't need to 'tie yourself down' with weighing everything.

but when you weigh for a while, you get a much better idea, visually, of how much chicken is 4oz, or how much pasta is 'a serving', and eventually you can skip weighing most of the time.
 
I voted yes before I knew what the question was, but I don't use or own a food scale. I would say weighing your portions of food and getting it down to such exact amounts is pretty obsessive. Approximations and eyeballing is good enough for me.
 
I always weigh. I think it's actually quite difficult to eyeball things because, for instance, cuts of meat come in all different shapes, thicknesses etc. I'm often surprised when I weigh 2 steaks and the one I thought was bigger is actually smaller by 2 ounces.

Plus, yes I'm anal about things. I accept that about myself:yelrotflmao:

At least I stopped measuring out things that have tiny caloric values like broccoli, onions etc :sad2:
 
I weigh things until I get used to the size, because I found I don't really have the time & drive everyone around me crazy when I keep doing it for long periods. I do always measure when possible to help stay accurate.
 
Yup, don't know how anyone who's serious couldn't. Although I do sorta agree with the notion of once you've been doing it awhile, you get much better in tune with what a serving of something really is.

The shocker for me was peanut butter, one 32 gram, 210 calorie dose is like a little ball. I prolly used to eat 1,000 cals of PB in a sitting, and JIF at that.

I agree with this. I would only weigh something that I'm not used to eating. For example, I could guess 100g of Cashews to within about 5g just by looking at them but if i were to try and judge grated cheese (sorry, I just couldn't think of an example of something I don't usually eat :D) I'd have trouble and I'd use some scales until my judgement was good enough to take over

I have a food scale and totally love it! I use it mainly for recipes, but sometimes when I want to make sure my "eyeballing" has been accurate, I weigh portions just to see if I'm on track. I don't obsess, but it really is useful once in awhile to keep things in check.
