I think in many situations I use probably the preview about 1 in 10 to 1 in 20 shots.

Why not every time, for the reasons the OP stated.

I do a lot in manual, where I set the exposure using the green button on a grey object, (usually roadway or tree trunk) and then shoot with that, checking exposure as I said about i in 10 shots.

In difficult lighting, high contrast situations etc, I am much more careful, but when shooting wild life, I generally take 10-15 shots between checks. Usdually then it is more for focus, as opposed to exposure.

Yoou need to learn to trust the metering and your technique.
