If you don't measure and dont weigh your food, how do you know? Do most of you count stuff like honey or sugar that you may add to a shake or sandwhich?
How do you estimate how many calories your sandwhich is worth, especially since Peanut Butter has so many calories per serving.

I track it on fitday.com. The site has tons of food already listed as well as giving you the ability to enter in your own custom foods. I take the values right off of the box/wrapper for that. If I make a sandwich I add up the value for the 2 slices of bread, tablespoon of mayo, 5 or so pieces of ham and then just customize it and call it a ham sandwich (or whatever you eat). As far as say meat is concerned. I do use a scale to measure it out. A handfull size portion of chicken (what I usually eat) is 6-8 ounces for me.

if you can't count calories, at least learn to count portions.
portion of protein=serving equal to about the size of your palm
portion of carbs=size of your clenched fist
