Honestly, my biggest pet peave on this board is when someone tells other people to eat how they eat or how they think everyone should eat. I get really fired up over that.

I have never, not even once seen you do that. I've never seen you tell anyone they should weigh their food, either. Who gives a fark if people weigh or not?? I'm thinking some people don't have much of a life.

I weigh, measure, and eyeball. Come at me!

To the top, since someone was asking about this, and here is a bunch of information (and fun!) that might be helpful.

 Bumpity bump, because its a good question.

And for me, the answer is, whatever you do, being consistent will serve you well!

Wow, can't believe someone sent you a nastygram about that :(

I'm not sure why I do it this way exactly... but I weigh my protein, and measure most of my fruit/veggies, and popcorn (on the rare occasion that I eat it).  I weigh things like quinoa salad and M&M's (on the rare occasion that I eat them).  I only eyeball things when I eat out.

If someone is dilligent about weighing versus measuring, and they do it accurately, and they stay within their calorie/carb/protein/whatever guidelines, and they don't eat past the point of being satisfied, I don't see the big deal as to which method they do.  I feel like many of the unsuccessful people are the ones who push the limit of their sleeve and/or don't log their foods and stay within their plan guidelines.

You know, some days are bad days and one person does the last dance you can stand on your nerve and they get the full blown bile you have been choking down.  :}  You know..it can happen. Its happened to me. 

There are plenty of things worth having an argument over, I do not think this is one of them *but I could be wrong!* but it is nice for folks to see the spectrum of how different folks do what and then decide what is good for them!! 

I am with you about consistent. Consistent works for me too.
