I find when I begin eyeballing things I inevitably start to get them wrong.
For example, apples with peanut butter is my favorite snack. I initially measured out and weighed the peanut butter, then used the same entry for calorie counting and eyeballed it for a while.
I eventually measured again, and I was eating nearly 50% more peanut butter than my initial entry! I imagine I probably added just a little bit more each time, because my brain really loves peanut butter.
I don't think I do this with proteins, but with carbs and anything sweet I definitely do. So I have to be very careful.
