The last few days i started measuring and weighing all my portions in measuring cups and digital scales. To get my calorie intake scientifically intact an macro ratio. I feel like I been eating so much when I look at how big my portions sizes should be compared to what they are now Lol. Its so small when u look at it compared to going by eye. Any body else weighing there food up?

For example Because you don't realise just how little a 300 gram porterhouse is and it contains 537 calories. When you weight thd fucker up you feel ripped off! Lol
2300-2500 cals for losing. 2-3 g protein per kg bw. I don't eat gluten and have very little sugar so most of my carbs come from veggies and rice. My breakup is usually 40%p/40%f/20% carbs. Couple times a week I have a big carb up when the mrs makes spag bol or something with shit tonnes of rice then I usually get a higher carb ratio.
Peeps on here have told me the % aren't the best way to track but I'm lazy snd tge graph on mfp makes it easy.
Are you using mfp. Shits great with the barcode scanner and nearly every food already in there.

haha this si so true - I now eat a steak with less fat so i can eat more
cant go past a scotch fillet but.
It's not that the %'s aren't the best way to track.. it's that they're so hard to tweak easily.
It's much easier knowing that you eat 1g of protein per pound of BW, about 0.5g (or less) of fat per pound of BW and then just fill your calories with carbs. I don't bother counting the calories of the carbs, instead I just increase or decrease my carb intake depending on whether I'm cutting or gaining.. and just monitor on the scales and in the mirror.
Anyway, I wouldn't really bother weighing once you've got a feel for it. Unless you compete.
