Weighed Anchor Portion Habit
A weighed anchor portion habit weighs only dense staples while photo-logging the rest—anchors stabilize weekly calories with minimal scale time.
A weighed anchor portion habit means three to five staples—oats, rice, chicken, peanut butter, olive oil—are always weighed while everything else can stay photo-estimated. Anchors stabilize weekly calories because errors on dense foods dominate totals.
Takes two minutes at breakfast and dinner prep.
