I think I should start using a scale. It would give me a better understanding of what a is portion. (I was told a serving of meat should be about the size of a pack of playing cards.) For example I was eating what I thought was an ounce of cheese, but then I found out an ounce of cheese is a 1 inch cube. Boy was I off.
I also journal and preplan my food intake. It helps keep me honest and it is a good record of what I eat and when.
I use a scale and measuring cups. I do calories and 1 oz of cheese has more calories then 1 egg so I have hard boiled eggs if I need a quick protein snack.
