How do u guys measure your salads ?

[Sunny123 5]

Just wandering how to measure my salad? ? I put a 1/2 cup or less of lettuce , a serving of chicken, a few slices if cucumbers, a little cheese, almonds , cranberries( just a few) seems like it makes a humongous bowl?? Does this seem like too much????

I weigh everything, so I can get some consistency in what I prepare and find it easier to log the ingredients. For my salads, I typically have a couple ounces of leftover meat, usually marinated in 10-15g of BBQ Sauce, 15g of chopped spinach (I could never figure out what a half cup of spinach or lettuce was...), 25g of grape tomatoes, 10-15g each of pepper, green onion, avo, shredded carrot, chopped snow peas, shredded cheese and dressing. That's a comfortable amount for me, though about 3oz of meat will stuff me.
