Instead of a scale, use everyday items to estimate weight. Measuring cups or spoons can help you portion food. Use your hand for portion control: a fist for a cup, palm for 3 oz of meat. Use body measurements with a tape measure for physical progress. Tracking how clothes fit can also be a reliable indicator. By utilizing these tools, you can effectively manage without a scale and maintain your health goals.
