Once I got a kitchen scale I was astounded at how terrible I was at estimating the actual amounts of things that I was using. While I am sure it is not as simple as calories in versus out, if you take anything away from this article at least let it be that people are very bad about estimating their actual portion sizes. And if you get a chance, grab a kitchen scale (and keep some measuring cups handy too) and try guessing then measuring and see how well you do! I think you'll be very surprised. Especially, as mentioned in the article, pouring liquid, which is very very easy to drastically overpour.
