I use a food scale.  Although with some things it is tricky, I still like it.

For all my meats, I use a food scale.  For side dishes, salads, etc.. I use measuring cups and spoons.

A restaurant supply store has ladles (slotted and unslotted), spoon and scoops in cup sizes!  You can get anything from an 1/8 c to a full cup size.  Makes measuring out meals painless.   You can always use a scale for protein but the palm thing works pretty well especially eating out.  Once I began to recognize serving sizes, I can make a guesstimate that is really close to the actual amount.

Food is fuel, not friends.
