I love my digital food scale and at almost 2 years post-op continue to use it regularly.

Weighing my food allows me to better track what I eat and maintain my weight loss.

George, I think it may have been you that turned me onto the Woot of the day scale, that's the one I ended up getting..

Eh, I do a little of all three :)

I weigh my meats and other solids (amazingly, they generally come out about the same in volume..) and measure by volume things like cot cheese, and other soft liquidy stuff if needed. I eyeball on occasion if I'm not home, but my eyeballs are still not trained right, so they tend to put on more than I can eat.

I also weigh most proteins and cheeses so I can keep tabs on the nutrient counts since I'm a bit control freaky about that.. eh, to each their own. But I happen to love my scale, and so does my sleeve as I've never over-eaten as long as I've weighed.

I can generally estimate my foods weight but like the accuracy of the scale. Since I track my food on myfitnesspal.cpm weighing it give me a more accurate record of calories, protein and carbs.

I always weigh.  I'm a fast eater... not measuring gets me in trouble.  I have to weigh out 1 7/8 ounces of dense protein.  I eat that in about 3 or 4 minutes.  If I were to eyeball it and put 2 1/2 ounces on my plate... by the time my stomach realized that it was full, it would be too late & I would be sick.

Like you said, everyone has to find what works for them.

And for the record... I hope you've got a permit for those guns.

Current weight: 170 lbs.

Once I reach goal, this cow will be killed & eaten... 2 ounces at a time.

Total includes 56 lbs. lost on 2-month low carb pre-op diet.  Start date 9/13/10.

I am a slam bam eater too. Especially since I eat while I work.
