Best way to portion fruit

What's the best way to measure fruit for tracking macros? Most guides mention portion sizes in cups, but that seems inaccurate to me. A dry cup is usually about 8 ounces, but measuring fruit like blueberries in a cup versus by weight can give different amounts. This means the nutrition can vary between the two methods.

Don't stress about measuring fruit portions. That can be a bit extreme and might lean towards an eating disorder. Whole fruits have plenty of fiber, which helps balance out the carbs and sugar. It's a different story with fruit juice because it lacks fiber.

I'm concerned about overeating. I'm overweight but still want to enjoy foods with refined sugars occasionally. When I track my food, seeing the amount of sugar I consume in a day is alarming, although most of it comes from fruit.

If you're concerned about fruit, consider using an online diabetic exchange list. It provides serving sizes for different fruits.
