Thank you! Yep, I certainly missed them.
I measure out servings religiously, all except things measured in oz because I don't have a food scale. I think I'm fairly accurate because most things I either out of a package (bread, oatmeal, etc) or I cook them and add up the calories then cut the whole pan and divide (ADB, RKT, etc.). I've done that on both those recipes and with the ingredients I use, the calories have come up slightly different. The only things that I am probably not as accurate on is chicken, baken potatos, and shredded "veggie cheese". The last one really isn't an issue, as I have one bag of it that I've been using the last 3 weeks. So it's probably inconsequencal. With chicken, I probably eat about usually eat only about 5 or 6 bites. (Bite as in what you would put of on a fork, maybe an inch, by half an inch, by half an inch--or less). After that, it just has almost no appeal, no matter how much I was enjoying the first bite. (Yikes...considering, that may not even be a whole serving...didn't there used to be some rule about 4 oz being the size of a deck of cards?...I'm not sure I eat that much.) And the potatos I've really just been guessing on. For instance, the one I ate last night I ate all of, but really, it was a rather pathetic potato, even by my standard. Maybe 3 inches long, and not particularly fat. (It was a regular potato, not one of the round red ones.) So I really have just been guessing on that part. Are there any good rules for eyeballing? Or is a good food scale just a necessity?
