I've started weighing the food I eat and trying to remember how the portion looks. Eventually, I would like to stop weighing food and be able to visually estimate the amounts I'm eating. That also goes for measuring out actual portion sizes for packaged items like cottage cheese, crackers etc... and desserts like ice cream, dark chocolate, m&ms etc... I know I'm not supposed to be eating stuff, but I figure if I end up getting weak on it, it would be better to know how much I'm eating so I can hold it to a limit.
Well, what's wrong with some good stuff every now and then or if it fits your macros.
Of course, it's good if you can eyeball the portions but when fat loss is the primary goal, I would weight everything for the sake of exact measure. I'd be more liberal for maintaining or bulking.
