ok. So I bought a scale and this weekend I measured everything. I'm prepping for work tomorrow and packing my lunch (its tracked already) but I have a weird question. I keep snacks at work in case I need them. Prepackaged things I can easily track, but what about the "just in case I want to eat it" piece of fruit? Do you just weigh it and keep note of how many grams it weighs in case you eat it? I refuse to get so OCD that I'm going to tote my scale to work. So....what do you do with things like that?

    For me: I pre-portion and weigh a bunch of veggies and nuts and cheeses, then bag them and write the weight on the bag. I keep them in a separate drawer in my fridge (basket in pantry for non-fridge snacks). If I feel like a snack that isnt planned, I grab one and log it.

    That is an awesome idea. I am going to do that.
