Consider a food scale
We think we’re accurately calculating our calories because we think we’re having the “recommended serving size” stated on the bag of rice or box of cereal. But do you really know what three ounces looks like? Or one-fourth a cup? Few people do. And yet, tiny over-estimates, every day, over time, can add up to consuming several hundred more calories a day than you’d planned. A food scale can help you make sure you’re actually eating the recommended serving size. It can be interesting to see what an ounce or a half a cup really looks like. Over time, you may begin to intuitively determine these sizes.
