[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1915381, member: 93179"] I never worry about my actual meal portion sizes as such: I watch and maybe adjust quantities for anything that might be slightly higher than my normal carb consumption. Initially I did weigh or check some things occasonally but this was because I needed to be aware of those carbs. So I eat according to how hungry I am, and like [USER=124172]@Daphne917[/USER], use my meter readings & logs and previous experience to guide me regarding glucose levels (and if needs be I'll rely on my scales and clothes fit for weight.) However you need to do what you feel most comfortable with. It may be that while you're learning you'll be more concious of the need to weigh and measure than later when you have some experience to fall back on. But you may also feel keeping a very close eye on portions gives you a better feeling of control? There's no right or wrong way, just as long as you end up achieving the results you aim for.
