Measuring Woes

One of the excuses I hear about dieting is that it's so hard to measure everything to get the exact amount you're supposed to eat.

Here's a tip: when eating something like almonds measure the amount the first time. The picture to the right is 1/4 cup. Then count how many almonds are in that measurement. There were exactly 50 almonds. From now on, just count them out quickly in your hand and go! No more measuring and less dirty dishes.
