I honestly don't weight food for my snakes, but I've kept so many snakes for over 3 decades now, so I can tell the right size by "looks" but that's hard when you're new at this.
I pretty much go by feeding a rodent that is slightly less than the widest part of the snake's (un-fed) mid-section, with exceptions for a few of my snakes that have very narrow faces (rosy boa & TX longnose snakes, for example). But until you get the hang of it, that chart should help.
