    I'v'e only recently started to almost exclusively use my scale vs. measuring things. In the negative side, nut servings and banans are too small! Pouting. But some nice surprises are bread (I tend to buy from individual bakeries instead of sandwich bread at the supermarket), certain crumbled cheeses, bacon (woot woot) and oatmeal.

    Nuts servings ARE disappointing! :) I agree with the bread, I also buy from bakeries, and was very happy with the serving sizes once weighed.


    Ahh....nuts...makes me want to cry! I know walnuts are good for you but....for 8 grams of walnuts (barely a tbsp. if I remember correctly) is 50 calories!

    I'm still upset about bananas. I mean, so many calories!! Well, not really, but one "normal" banana can weigh upwards of 150 grams.

    This. I weigh my bananas now and I was very surprised when I started doing that. I was seriously underestimating the calories in a banana. Now, I realize that it is just about 1 KCAL per gram!
