What Counts as Water?
I have a question: I know decaf coffee and tea don't really count as water. Does Crystal Light? If I drink 16 ounces of Crystal Light can I count that as 2 glasses of water? Thanks in advance for the great advice!

It's kinda hard to know that your chicken breast is indeed 5 oz. so obviously a scale would be good for this kind of thing. I want to get a kitchen scale but I don't know what kind. I have found two I like,…
