Hey you guys
I bought a food scale but I am unsure how to use it?
How do I correlate that with my calories

    Could you be a little more specific about what it is you're confused about? Otherwise, all I can tell you is to weigh the food that you eat and make sure you're using accurate data entries for the foods you log. Grams consumed divided by grams in a serving = numbers of serving. I don't know if what I'm saying is at all helpful, because I don't know where your confusion is.

    Depending on whether it's something I'm going to want to lick the spoon -- peanut butter, yogurt, hummus -- I'll put the serving dish on the scale, taro or "zero" the scale, and add the food (no licking) and read the number on the scale as how much I need to log. Or put the jar or tub of food on the scale, tare it to zero, serve up what I want, lick spoon, and the negative number on the scale is the absolute figure for how much I'm consuming (that is, ignore the negative sign).
