Measuring/Estimating amount of food
So, I do not always measure my food. I guess most of the time-but I never feel that there is more than a 5% margin of error.
My problem is that I cannot believe that I am eating so few (to me) calories a day and am never hungry, and at times feel stuffed! My journal is here I only have a few days in it, as I joined a few days ago, but I am certain that nothing is missing... |
So, just to double-check, try really measuring carefully for just a few days. Everything that you eat.

I've gotta agree--an inexpensive food scale and a measuring cup are our best friends for accurately tracking calorie intake. I've been doing this for well over a year now and yes, sometimes I need to estimate but I'd be happy to be within 20%. If what you're doing is working, I guess it's OK but if it's not you might want to start measuring, at least for a while.
Regards, Michael |
