Holy calorie counting Batman! Those were not 4oz chicken breasts all these years. Calorie tracking FAIL!! I recently bought this food scale http://amzn.to/P0Wsf6 and oopsie, man those things are closer to 7-9oz each, some are even 11oz. No telling how many things I've been tracking wrong. So, word to the wise, get a food scale .. as the scale(s) don't lie I've been having a tracking FAIL!

    Yeah.....I had a shock when I decided to weight the pine nuts which I grab by hand & sprinkle on my salads - on a daily basis. Was logging 5g of nuts (35 cals). I grabbed the usual amount & checked it on the scales ....... 20g.....139 cals. Oops!!!! I was also underestimating my salad dressing by 1/3 too - trust me to create a high cal salad;-)
