Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

I’m gonna be honest, being anal about exactly how much chicken I eat sounds like a miserable time.
Sure, track salt intake and carbs as portions for those are more easily controlled without leaving awkward amounts of food trimmed off, but chicken?
Like you demonstrated, just halve the pieces, in which case weighing the chicken is pointless as it’s already roughly where you want it.
Mate. You think taking 15 seconds to place your chicken on a scales is misery? Seriously? Or are you just coming up with justifications to support the way you currently do things?
Again, literally nobody is saying you should trim bits of chicken off, just that you should know how much you’re eating so you can track calories and macro nutrients. Which is super easy especially if you’re already weighing out carbs or other food.
