Grated Italian Hard Cheese

So i buy this stuff (i guess its like parmesan?) from a supermarket so i can sprinkle it on my pasta. So preparing dinner tonight i weighed a couple of tablespoons of it because i try to include everything i eat/drink. On the label on the box are these specs per 100g: 485 cal 43g protein 34g fat etc. However my problem is that my scales dont do a really tiny scale (they only do every 25g) and it doesn't really make an impact on the scale! So i dont really know what to do cause i guess even a small amount of those big numbers is still significant. If that means i shouldnt count it then i could eat a whole bowl of it and it wouldnt really matter which obviously isnt true!!

Anyone else encountered anything like this?

    measure it by ounces instead. log it into your diary by writing how many tablespoons or ounces you are eating. That's what I do. But the measurement is for the cheese all puffed with air, not flattened with your finger!
