THIS...is what happens when you start measuring EVERYTHING that you eat...
a counter full of cups, half cups, quarter cups, and tablespoons..
Ultimately, I suppose, the goal is learn how to accurately gauge food without whipping out a measure cup at every turn...

Measuring also allows you to really see what you are eating in order to log it correctly...For example:
When adding french toast to my Lose It! app I randomly guessed that I used a 1/2 cup of syrup...which was fine until I saw that a 1/2 cup of syrup was over 400 calories...that set me on a mission to verify the 1/2 a cup assessment was correct...so, I did the HARD work and made some more french toast (yummy!) this time using a 1/4 of a cup to measure the syrup...and surprise of all surprises...the 1/4 of a cup was ALL I used a 1/2 of a cup would have been WAY too much...
This little exercise taught me the importance of measuring out everything because my size monitor is apparently BROKEN!
