I use a scale. Not only do I feel that the measurement is more accurate than using cups - I'm getting EXACTLY a specific amount, but it's also a bit more convenient, at least for me. If I'm using cups, I have to measure the food and then transfer it to my plate. When I'm finished, I have to wash both the plate AND the measuring cup too. OTOH, with scale, I just place my plate on top, zero it out, and then spoon the correct (and accurate!) amount directly on to my plate.
