I was just curious to find out if people measure (or at least measured the first few months). I normally don't measure, but I measured some chicken for my lunch tomorrow and 3.5 ozs was much more than I have been "guestimating." And...when you measure (take meat for example), do you measure 1/2 cup as 4 ozs or do you weigh it?

Just curious. Thanks!

i measured quite a bit at 1st, just to get an idea of what a true portion is supposed to be. now i've done it enough that most things i can kind of eyeball up. i didn't do it so much as counting calories or dieting. just to make me more aware of what i was putting in my mouth. it made me realize how truly out of control my portions used to be.

Hm, that is not a lot. 4 tablespoons is only a quarter of a cup. I think I was told at least 1/2 a cup for meals but I think for me it will probably (once I get good restriction) end up being between 1/2 and 3/4 of a cup.
