I used a scale and measuring cups. I measured the cream I put into my morning coffee, and every handful of Macadamia nuts I ate. I also did not eat out, since the estimates on most restaurants for amount of ingredients and total calories/macros are wildly off the mark. And before you mention water weight, I had DXA scans done that showed both fat loss and lean tissue gain. I also did not modify my workout schedule at all.
