a cup of food

I've never done it by cups.  

I weight out 3oz of protein then 1/2 cup of veggies.

I cut my protein after I get to the table, not before hand.

I get amused cause they always ask me how many cups of food I can eat when I go in for a check.. and I tell them I wasn't taught to go by cups, YOU told me 3oz & 1/2 cup.  "oh ok" they say.    hehehehe

Thanks everyone for answering.  It puts things in propective now.  I've never really measured anything.  It's probably why I having a slow weight loss.  It's been almost a year with my band.  This site has helped me.  I've learned more here than at my support meetings.  I am always asked if I can eat more than a cup at my appointments.  I can. I willl start to measure and weight my food.  I will probably see a better weight loss as a result.
