Weighing food

gnerre13

This might sound ridiculous but i weigh my food all the time. But my ques is, lets say i'm eating corn on the cob and i find and ear of corn (200g) when i search for it. Does the weight take into account the actual cobb?? Or is it 200g of corn?? Same for an apple, i search for a red delicious apple and find one thats (242g). Does that include the core which im not eating or am i splitting hairs? I just want to make sure i'm not going over my calorie allowance. Thanks for any help.

Generally the weight is for the edible portion

I wish it would give you the weight in grams and ounces as I cant even guess what an ounce is these days. Especially for drinks, I only know mls,

Slightly over 28 grams. If your scale only does grams, use a Google converter to change it to ounces.

Edited because I see you're not American, so the measurements should be switched.

I believe the weight you log is what you actually eat. For example I cut my apples into slices (not including the core) and weigh/eat those. Corn on the cobb is a little more complicated; you could weigh it, then eat the corn and then weigh the cobb and subtract, but that is rather annoying.

1 ounce = 28g
1 pound = 454g
2.2lbs = 1kg

1 cup = 240ml
1 tablespoon = 15ml
1 teaspoon = 5ml

hope that is helpful, keep in mind that is an approx I live in USA but I prefer metric system, it makes more sense.
