That feel when you finally get a food scale

I'm pretty damn sure I overestimate all my food. I do not have a scale currently so I can't prove it but here is how my counting goes.

1 large egg in the morning fried (using 0 cal PAM) = 100 calories
1 fake sausage patty (morning star brand) [box says 80 calories] = 100 calories
1 medium sized plum = 100 calories
1 can of beans (110 calories per serving, 3.5 servings per can) = 400 calories
etc, etc, etc

I usually just round to the next highest 100 calories. I will probably grab a scale in the next few weeks, but hopefully I will be off my cut by then, I have been losing about 3 pounds a week for last few months. I am hoping when I get to 155 I'll be ready to start moving in the other direction so I will slowly raise my calories a bit each week and hopefully get down to 150 before I hit my maintenance calories. At that point I hope be at a low enough body fat where doing a slow bulk will be good.

I'll just have to wait and see how it goes though. I will probably get new pics the first weekend in November and see what people here think, since I think it still looks like I have a lot of fat left.

I'm pretty sure you overestimate too.
