[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1706841, member: 429870"] Yes, I do, but I agree with Bluetit that after a while you just know roughly how a portion of anything you eat regularly looks. But sometimes it's just easier to weigh rather than make the effort to estimate, and also carb creep sets in pretty early with me, so it's safer to weigh. For foods like mayonnaise or pesto that come in jars, I weigh the jar before and after taking out what I want to eat. In this way I don't have to decide beforehand how much I want, and can go back for seconds and just weigh at the very end. However, usually I don't eat enough mayonnaise for it to matter. Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question. I usually prefer to weigh raw ingredients. Some people prefer to use cup measures, but I can't get my head round stuffing eg lettuce into a cup. [/QUOTE]
