measuring food

I'm only suppose to have 2-3oz per meal. My nutritionist gave me a 2oz cup at my appointment and I also have a scale. However is it the same portion if I weight it versus putting it in a 2oz cup?

    Makes a lot of sense to me.

    I bought bariatric plates (they're so mini hahaha) from my surgeon's office and a pirex measuring cup from Publix. The food scale is a really good idea.

    I weigh all mine on the scale and measure liquids. :) it seems to work the best for me. I even premeasure my lunch and such for work and all my snacks.
