Do you weight your fruits before or after you peel/core it?

    fruit isnt calorie dense so I dont even weigh it, but, I think it makes more sense to weigh the actual flesh if you bother weighing it

    Don't weigh fruits and veggies ...

    Unless you are doing like a fruit salad ... then maybe

    I weigh after, precooked (if I am cooking it).

    For those of you not weighing, do you not log your fruit?

    I never weighed my fruit. I would log it as a medium banana, a cup of blueberries, a large apple, etc. Fruit isn't calorie dense enough for me to get worked up about weighing it down to the last gram.

    This was my question.

    I weigh and measure everything.

    I rarely weigh it but when I do it's without the core/peel.

    I weigh it because apparently I have fallen in love with my food scale. I weigh after coring it, or peeling it, or whatever the hell I do to it.
