I use body fortess and the scoop weighs 10 grams, and the serving size for one scoop is 38 grams. So when I the powder with the scoop, should it be 38 or 48 grams? I guess I am asking if you include the scoop when you weigh it

    Unless you are also eating the scoop don't include its weight. I don't weigh my protein powder, I just fill the scoop all the way up.

    Why are you weighing it - the package gives you nutritional information per scoop to simplify things.

    Weight is more accurate than volume.
    Cups and scoops are diet tools of the devil.
    You don't have to weigh everything, just where accuracy is important.
