  best advice here IMO also just memorize a bunch of common food items you eat, bananas are about 100 calories, bowl of cereal + milk, protein shake, etc. Should be less than 10 items you need to commit to memory, you can guesstimate everything else off of these. For reference, a burrito bowl from chipotle w/ everything but guac is ~1000 calories, ~300 calories for a tortillia shell, its a good balance eyeball measurement to use, since most of the food groups are in there. Have some nonperishable consumable foods to balance calorie vs hunger intake. I use jerky. Drink increased amounts of water to reduce appetite on weight loss Unfortunately my dinner and lunch meals have too much variability so it becomes hard to keep track of though. Mine looks like breakfast <300 calories, early lunch and late dinner <800 calories. For bulking you just need to adjust the breakfast / lunch / dinner values. Easiest way is to make breakfast a fullmeal, and add a 4th meal (protein shake) at night, but keep everything else the same
