Measuring Apparatus?

I'll parrot what everyone else has said -- get a food scale. I found I was consistently overestimating my protein weights. What I thought was a 4-ounce portion turned out to weigh 2-3 ounces when I took the time to weigh it. I cook in a tiny galley on a boat, but there's always room for my scale.

I almost never used measuring cups, but a kitchen scale is vital. Weighing food is much more accurate for portions than cups or spoons. I never even used the scoops that came with protein powder. If a serving was 30 grams, I weighed 30 grams on the scale.

As White Dove said, MyFitnessPal, a Fitbit, and kitchen scale. I use all three every day.

You guys are such a wealth of information!  I can't tell you how much I appreciate you.  I can't imagine going through this journey without the knowledge and support I've received on this site.  Really....from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!

My surgeon sent me home with a big stack of 1oz medicine cups for measuring out liquid for the first few days post-op. I also have 2oz and 5oz glass measuring cups that I use quite frequently even 7 months after surgery, as well as normal measuring cups. I use Wean Green glass storage containers to portion out my meals, I bought a set that has 2, 4 and 6oz containers with plastic sealing lids, they are technically for baby food but they work out great for portioning leftovers out for lunches.

I weigh everything on my digital scale - best thing I have :)

Measuring cups, Measuring spoons and invest in a good, highly rated digital scale. I could not imagine being successful without those three things! 

All the above ^^^^^ post.  I love the "tare" feature on my digital scales. 

Good luck next week!

Of course measuring spoons and cups are essential.  I love my food scale though, I use it every day.

Love my digital food scale!  I would say it's the most important meauring tool besides having a couple sets of measuring spoons on hand.   

Food scale is essential to managing what I eat.  If I don't weigh it, I always overestimate it.  Here's the scale I use:

It's small, sleek and accurate.
