Buy a scale and weigh or measure everything. It's a total hassle at first, but this is how you learn what a real portion size looks like. For me it was kind of shocking to see how many portions of X (and how many calories) I normally ate. I got a manual scale at Bed Bath and Beyond for around $15. Digital scales started at around $20 iirc.

That said, I don't bother to log spices. They few times I did it added something ridiculous, like 1 calorie. I generally tend to come in at least a hundred calories under my daily allotment, so I don't worry about it.

Oh yes I'm using myfitnesspal

what are you using to count calories? Some things like myfitness pal will let you put things like past in by volumetric measurement like cups instead of ounces. I find it good to get a food scale and weigh tthings liek meat to give you an idea of what 3 ox of meat look like. After a while you know what it looks like and can eyeball it.

I'm very confused on how I do these calorie counting/food logs. For instance for lunch I'm having turkey wing portions baked (2) and its asking me for ounces and I'm totally confused. Also when I cook I don't measure the seasonings I just sprinkle it on the taste how to a put this. I also did not measure my pasta. This is my first day using this and I'm very confused any help....
