The funniest part is when you finally get to the point that you realize that when you're natty for quite some time (and also plan to stay natty) that it barely makes any difference whether you weigh all of your carbs, even salt and log all of your Micros and Macros in detail, or whether you just eat pretty much whatever the f*ck u want, make sure that you got some Protein in your diet and roughly estimate your overall caloric intake 
Personally, I never went so far as to weigh my food or keep logs of what I ate (other than a couple of times I posted in the "what did you eat yesterday" thread on Getbig). When I was a teenager, I fixed myself a lot of banana milk shakes with one or two raw eggs added because I was obsessed with gaining weight. Note, back then people didn't worry about the dangers of eating raw eggs.
How much to eat is not rocket science. When you are hungry, eat something. If you are not hungry, don't eat. When you feel full, stop eating. Save the leftovers or throw the food out. Remember your mother telling you to "clean your plate"? Comments like this should be prohibited. Stuffing your mouth when you feel full is tantamount treating your body like a garbage can.
I buy my own groceries, and fix most of my own meals. I eat what I want when I want. It is a privilege afforded to those of us who no longer need worry about feeding anyone else, like our kids or spouse.
