    I tried to do that some time ago, but got bored of weighing everything. Is taking a picture generally enough to estimate weights and stuff? I remember it made a lot of difference if a salad has an oil dressing for example, or how much peanut butter you put on a sandwich.

      Yeah I’m not that precise. Just like when cooking, I don’t weigh anything. I use my experience to make a rough estimate.

      I’m confident that getting close enough with my measurements (maybe even overestimating a bit) because my weight loss currently tracks with what I’m expecting to lose, given what I’m eating (aimed to lose a pound per week, currently losing ~1.3lb). And close enough is good enough for me.
