Do you use a food scale? Measuring cups? I want to make sure I have what I need to measure my foods before surgery!

I have a digital food scale, it measures in ounces up to 5 pounds. You can put your container on it and zero out that weight then add what ever you want and it will weigh that inside the container..Super neat! I found mine at TJ max but I have seen them at Walmart also.

Yes I use both food scale and measuring cups.

Food scale: chicken, canned meats, tuna, fish

Measuring cups: cottage cheese, soft foods, veggies

Measuring spoons: you will also need a good set of these

Just measuring cups. A 1/4 cup for nuts or egg whites in the mourning, 1/2 for meats, and 1 cup for sauces like chili or soup. Quick and simple.

I envy you guys that are doing the right thing and measuring. I confess that I have never measured except a visual estimate. My stomach helped me guage my portions REAL quick. Maybe it's a "man thing" or maybe I'm just stupid but it's like asking for directions for me.

Me too. I just bought smaller plates and bowls and really listen to my body when I am getting full.

I think your doing fine. You how us guys always overestimate measurements.

I used the little 3 oz paper Dixie cups when in my soft stage. Three oz's was about my limit and helped to train myself on what 3 oz's looked like. It was easy to nuke in the microwave and then just toss when I was done.

I use plastic measuring cups for 1/3 cup or an accurate food scale for 3-4 ounces of Protein.

I use small dishes. I have several bowls that are only 4 ounces. I also have a food scale in order to keep a more accurate calorie count.
