Pirate Booty

fancyface1955

So I LOVE to eat Pirate Booty and I know it's supposed to be a healthy snack option. My question is how much are you allowed to eat. I had 1/2 cup which is 4oz. The entire bag is 4oz!! There is a big difference between eating 1/2 a cup and the entire bag. So does anyone know the equivalence of what I ate so I can enter it in my food diary. If I eat 1oz (the serving size) is that equal a cup???
Please help- i'm sure i'm not alone on this.

Thanks.

That's where you pretty much need a food scale, or it's just guesswork.

1oz = weight. A cup = volume. It's like comparing apples and oranges. You can't measure solids by volume... it only works for liquids.

So, 1 oz. is 120 calories or so...in the bags I get, it says "serving size 1 oz., servings per container: 4" So I take roughly 1/4 of the bag as my "serving." I'm not THAT strict with stuff like that. The way I figure- if I take a little extra, it will be 150 cals. If I take a little less it will be 100 cals. If I am super rigid with it, I can't stick to it for the long run.

You could get a food scale, too.

To make it easier, just buy the 1oz packs.

1/4 cup = volume. 1 ounce = weight. You can't compare the two. Without a scale it's going to be a bit difficult.

I went ahead and dumped 1 oz of PB into a measuring cup for you - it's APPROXIMATELY 2 cups. This is a very (very) rough measurement, but it gives you a general idea of what you're eating. I hope this helps.

Same as everyone else, best way to solve this problem is to weigh your food first.

Now, best way to figure it out from here (as you don't currently have a food scale) figure out what percentage of the bag you ate. If one cup is 1/4th of a 4 ounce bag, then you ate 1oz and can log that.

1 oz of Pirate Booty is about two cups. That's not exact, because ounces are weight and cups are volume. A food scale would serve you well.

Trader Joe's makes a cheese puff a lot like Pirate Booty that a serving is 140 cal and 2.5 cups. I think it tastes a lot better than Pirate Booty.
