Calibrate your eye for two weeks

Back to Explore Habits
Weigh what you eat for two weeks to learn to estimate, then let it go.
Micro-habits to get started
Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:
Weigh the dense items
Oils, nuts, cheeses and grains: that is where most of the error sits.
Underreporting of intake is systematic, even with the best intentions.
5 minDo not skip liquids or weekends
That is where records fall apart and where an unmoving weight gets explained.
2 minDrop the log
After two to four weeks stop counting and return only if your weight stops behaving.
If counting produces anxiety or guilt, use portions and circumferences instead.
