I only weigh what I eat............................
egg shells and banana peels tastes so good.............with enough hot sauce
I just laughed so hard I almost spit out my drink! :laugh:0 -
It's also important for females to weigh out the egg that is released during ovulation, that way they know how much to subtract during a weekly weigh in.0

No, I get why you'd want to weigh your eggs, I mean, some packs come in mixed sizes, and different countries have different sizes. The database entry lists small, medium, large, extra large and jumbo. What I buy as medium or large here correlates to the large or extra large in the database.
Personally, I just match up my egg carton data to the closest nutrition by picking whatever size comes closest to what my pack says. But yeah, shell weight's negligible.
Edit; don't weigh what you won't eat with food.0 -

Can't believe how *****y you all are! It's a completely valid question! And one I think a lot of people wonder about, including myself. Well done for being accurate with food amounts! That's what gets results week after week.1

Hi guys,
I want to weigh my eggs (using the egg - raw) and was wondering if I weigh them with the shell and input that or do I weigh the liquid inside after breaking them?
Same question for bananas - raw: is this with or without the peel?
Put a bowl on the scale, zero it out, crack eggs into bowl.0 -
Honestly you are overthinking it. Just eat the egg and log it as 1 egg ( large,jumbo,medium etc.) I also weigh out food but I don't worry about the weight of an egg. Worry about the measurements that will make a big difference (peanut butter, oil, butter, etc) its way easier to add say an extra 100 calories of those things than say an "egg". I am not mocking you at all either I'm just saying sometimes people really make things harder than they really need to be.0

I haven't weighed eggs before but I plan to with my latest batch of eggs that a family friend brought over which are all different sizes.
How about picking an averaged size of the lot as a base and log it as 1.5 servings if you eat a large one No nutritional value is 100% accurate no matter how precise you weigh and log your foods.
Main thing is you enjoy your eggs0 -

yeah, I just go with the egg listing in the data base, compared it to my egg carton info to make sure we were talking about the same size egg, and it matched up so I just use that
don't make it harder than it has to be0 -
I'd say that since an egg shell weighs something like one megabajillinth of an ounce, you might not need to seriously worry about it.
As for the banana, that is a bit easier to weigh without the peel, but I think you might be better off just logging in the 'banana, large, medium, small etc.'
By the way, have you ever watched the show MONK?0 -

Aaaah, that makes sense. I have chickens who lay a variety of sizes. To be honest, I just use the generic "farm fresh, pasture raised egg" and figure it averages out. But, if you are wanting to be more specific, I've also done this:
Bantam egg (silkies, etc.): medium egg
Smallish-medium standard sized egg: large egg
Largish standard sized egg: extra large egg
I also have ducks, and log those as just "duck egg, generic". They are fattier than chicken eggs and have a higher albumen content.0 -

Grrrr, I didn't even notice it was a zombie thread! That'll teach me for trying to be all helpful and whatnot :grumble:0 -

You are 10 months late in coming to the rescue hun. And most people gave great answers....they just also have a sense of humor and delivered those answers best befitting them. :flowerforyou:0
