How do you measure??

[bluegirly 343]

I'm still on liquids, but just thinking ahead. If your NUT/dr tells you not to eat more than a cup of food at a time, how do you keep track of that if you are having something like pizza, or quesadillas, or <insert whatever tough to measure food here>? A newbie question, I know, but I can't help it!

If it isn't something that can be measured by volume, then either I use a good scale or size comparisons. For instance, a piece of meat should be no bigger than a deck of cards or the palm of your hand.

Hope that helps!

I have a food scale that I can zero with a plate or bowl on it and then add the food to see how much. When it comes to things like pizza, I don't eat the crust just the toppings. Right now I can't do things like sandwiches. I'm only 4 months in and don't trust myself to eyeball things!

Thank you, that definitely makes sense!
