To get sizes, du is the obvious choice, but you could do the ridiculous:
$ find . -type f -exec cat {} \; | wc -c
(end quote)
I do the slightly less ridiculous:
for X in $(find . -name '*'); do du -b $X >> mylogfile; done
Which still uses du.
One could also do
find . -type f -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{save=save+$5; print save}'
