Looking for the video that shows weighing food vs. not.

Does anyone have a link to the video that shows two tables with a days worth of food - one weighed out and the other not - to show the difference in the amount you could be overeating?

    I found some, but not the specific one I'm looking for. I always see people post it as a reply to the "Why am I not losing weight" threads, but couldn't find it in the threads when I searched.

    I have no idea how you'd do this in any sort of remotely accurate way, since some people are going to be way better at estimating than others. (It's rare in general, but I actually over-estimate how much I'm eating when I don't measure.) If you want to make this point to yourself, I'd say try estimating how much you think a portion is, and then weighing it. You'll get a sense pretty quickly.

    No, it's not for me. It's to show my sister in law how far off you could be by estimating or using measuring cups vs actually weighing food.

    That's a good idea. Make your own video!? :)

    I might do that. Use all the same foods - guesstimate on one, use measuring cups on the other, and then weigh one. Show the difference in how they look and the difference in calories! lol

    It'd be pretty funny if you actually guesstimated correctly.
