I remember reading in the Hip Chick's Guide that the percentages of grains, veggies, beans, etc. is by weight, not by volume. So filling one's plate half full of rice is actually eating out of proportion.

How do I estimate the weights of things without getting a scale out? Does anyone have an idea of what amount 1 serving of cooked rice for someone is?

Thanks for the help!
