How do you measure salad?

I eat a lot of salad with my protein. I try to eat all the meat out first but do get a few bits of lettuce/spinach at times. I put a handful in a measuring cup. I fill 1 cup all the way but don't press it down. I put the 1 cup on my plate but only end up eating 1/4 of it. I wasn't given guidelines on this. It just works for me.

I pretty much do the same thing a J does. My norm is a spinach salad with a small amount of spinach, then either grilled chicken or shrimp along with some sliced olives and small sliced mushroom and then maybe a grape tomato sliced. I use Boathouse Yogurt blue cheese dressing which is pretty low in both calories and carbs. I eat this pretty much on a daily basis for either lunch or dinner. I make sure to always eat all my meat but most days can't finish the rest of the salad... I don't feel bad dumping out what i can't finish, I actually feel like I'm making a good choice to not continue eating when I really don't want another bite.
