Weighing things essential to start. It's a drag but it works.
Use my fitness pal to log what you eat and it'll work out macros.
After a while, if you eat similar things, you'll be able to rely less on MFP/weighing and more on intuition.

I guess it is more the mental load of recording the food weight and calorie conversion, than the actual inconvenience of weighing.
I mean, you can’t easily follow a cooking recipe without weighing things.
People meticulously record the weights, sets and rest times for their lifting.
Businesses all track their income and expenditures.
The chances are that if you are fit, strong and lean, you’re keeping a close eye on your diet and your training (or pay someone to do this for you)

That’s part of the problem. I do tend to eat the same thing most days. But sometimes that plan goes out of the window. Plus you have to weigh everything and that is long.
I appreciate none of this will help me achieve my goals.
