Question How many people actually measure their food?

I never did because i honestly thought there was NO WAY i was anywhere near the amount my nut and surgeon told me i should be at. I finally broke down and bought measuring cups this week thinking i would be shocked by the fact that i was eating MORE- so i thought. i refuse to buy a food scale but it was interesting to see that i really am eating NOWHERE near what they told me i should be. i think at best so far, if it is a smooth or mushy texture i can eat 3/4 of a cup, everything else is less than 1/2 a cup. this cant be right.

i am eating more frequently though when i remember LOL! but for some reason i am worried. should i be? how many other people measure their foods? im just curious how far out and how much you can eat in a sitting...

leave it to me to be the only freak in the bunch

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I measure some things that I am not sure of. I did so much measuring when i was seeing a nutrionist 2 years ago and I got really good at it just eyeballing it. So that is what I do most of the time is just eyeball it now and if I am not sure, I measure my food. If I make something like chili I figure out how many portions are in that kettle and then I measure a serving size and than I can figure out how much protein and carbs I am getting at a serving. So far that has been working for me.

I measure and I record everything on Fitday.

It's a bit of a hassle to start with but once you get into the swing of it, it's an invaluable tool cause it gives a breakdown of protein, carbs, fats etc. etc. etc.

When i'm home i measure using cups etc.
When i am out i can pretty much look at stuff now and know what i need.
But it almost don't matter for me as a few bites of something (proteins first) i am done anyway!!
I can eat about 4-5oz (more if liquidy) in one sitting. Then i can eat again (if i have to for some reason) about 2-3 hours after that. Though i still never get "hungry" but i eat because i have to or just because it is time to eat with friends/family etc.



lol
