    I don't weigh produce. My 1/4 avocado might be bigger or it might be smaller. It's all an estimate. As long as sometimes you're over and some under, it's good enough for me. The 2-3 avocados I eat a month aren't going to make or break my diet.

    You guys really weigh ONION? 1/10 of an onion is like 6 calories. I probably wouldn't even log it.

    yup but those of us who choose to weigh our food do so for accuracy so we don't have to come to the forums and ask why we aren't losing weight to be told that we are probably eating more than we thing due to inaccurate logging.

    Produce could mean fruit too...you would be surprised at the differences...but if it's good enough for you great...

    I wasn't asking why I wasn't losing weight I was just shocked at the amount of cals!

    Then I have people jumping in saying weigh it ie demanding me to weigh it.

    That is just a generalization of what usually happens. If weighing food properly then you would not be surprised at the amount of calories you just ate.

    Its just advice.

    Yes! I do weigh an onion. I weigh bell peppers. I weigh spinach. I weigh romaine. I weigh everything because I eat a lot of produce. 6 calories here and there and everywhere really add up.

    making a suggestion is hardly 'demanding'. i was actually just trying to be helpful...

    That wasn't aimed at you as you said I suggest it was the person actually telling me to weigh things. Sorry if any offence was caused it really wasn't directed at you.

    I weigh everything to the gram. I was stuck in the same 2-4 lb range for a couple of months and started to weigh every. little. thing. Dropped 4 lbs.

    My typical lunch salad on a work day: 100 g bell pepper = 30 cals, 70 g sugar snap peas = 30 cals, 20 grape tomatoes = 45 cals, 90 g mini cucumber = 15 cals, 110 g baby carrots = 40 cals, 80 g baked chicken breast = 125 cals, 2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette = 100 cals. Total cals 385...160 of that is just vegetables. They add up!

    This wasn't about weighing food or not losing weight just shock that's all!

    Sorry, I was referring to the post by the person who doesn't weigh produce.
