measuring?!

Hi. I started calorie count 3 weeks ago. It is such a great app. I found out that I really didn't know how much I was eating. I just want to know if you all still measure everything, or do you pretty much know by sight how much everything is after measuring so often? I have been counting and measuring everything. I want to continue making sure my calories are what they should be even after I have lost my last few pounds. Will I be measuring forever? I don't mind, just curious how u do it. With every bowl of cereal, every morning? Etc.

measuring resting metabolism

I got a Bodymedia armband this weekend and am curious whether I can use it to estimate my resting metabolism. It seems that I burn about 63 cal/hr when I'm sleeping, which is about 1500 cal/day with no activity. Does this sound about right? I'm 42, F, 5'7", 130 lbs. Also, how would this relate to my basal metabolism?

Thanks!
