I apologize if you already know this or if it seems obvious, but as a few other users have mentioned, I would purchase a food scale (I bought this one) and begin weighing your meals and calculating the amount of each of the following in your servings:
I thought I was eating a lot of food, but I never actually determined that to be objectively true until I started weighing the meals that I could. Begin doing this for the meals you eat most regularly, as you want to have a baseline understanding of what you're currently consuming. In doing so, you will discover the amount of food you need to eat just to maintain your current weight. For example, if I know I am eating approximately an average of 2,500 calories per day, 95 grams of fat, and 150 grams of protein, but I am not gaining weight, I realize that those figures need to increase. There is likely a more scientific method for this, but I simply forced myself to increase those figures by 15 to 20 percent (or more) and keep track of it on an Excel spreadsheet (I never used MyFitnessPal because Excel has always been good enough for me, especially since my meals are consistent and I can easily copy and paste). While those figures and percentages are simply examples and are different for everyone depending on your level of fitness, goals, age, etc., I am now averaging nearly 4,500 calories per day, 160 grams of fat, and 270 grams of protein, none of which I would have been able to do unless I committed to weighing my food and actually finding out what I was eating and realizing why that wasn't working. It's a lot of food, but it gets easier as you get used to it and the results show themselves.
I wish I had weighed my meals sooner, as it took me nearly eight years of on and off guess work regarding how much I was eating, as well as poor weightlifting technique and programs to go from 165 lbs to 240 lbs (6'4").
Squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press, and, most importantly, tracking my meals and their associated macros are what helped me more than anything.
This one can measure up to 11lbs. I bought it and it seems to be working great for my purposes. http://www.amazon.com/MIRA-Digital-Kitchen-Scale-Multi-Fuction/dp/B005QRWEBK

I like this one (use it in my kitchen). Super easy to clean, reliable, compact, and pretty cheap. I would buy one for lab work if I needed to. It is only accurate to 1 g measurements, though. Not sure if that will work for new/used cigarettes.
they have this one for similar price, great reviews, and it looks large enough for a dinner plate. I have a Biggest Loser scale I got as a gift a few years ago, but I definitely need a bigger one. heck, I might get one of those for myself.
And a little background:
I got a scale a while ago, but I think it got damaged somewhere along the way. A few days after arriving the buttons stopped working when I pressed them on the edge. Now it's at the point where only a tiny spot works so I'm spending 10-20 seconds trying to turn it on every time. Besides that, it's been perfect. http://www.amazon.com/MIRA-Digital-Kitchen-display-platform/dp/B005QRWEBK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342287137 . They don't offer an exchange, otherwise I'd probably go for it, so I'm getting a refund and looking at all options.
