Most people new to this are shocked at how much they are overeating and how weighing really improves the accuracy of logging calories.
This is so true. I was amazed at how many extra calories I was having when I used spoons and cups. If I have some peanut butter on a cracker I weigh the cracker before and after I've put the pb on and then I knoW how much pb I've had in grams. That video really opened my eyes0
